These Black-backed jackal pups (Canis mesomelas) were confiscated from kids who had dug them up from a burrow! They were subsequently taken to VulPro where they were then transferred to us to facilitate their rehabilitation journey.

Luckily, upon examination, there were no injuries, and all five are steadily growing and reaching their developmental milestones. They have a few weeks to go before the next step in their rehabilitation; a pre-release enclosure.

These Black-backed jackal pups (Canis mesomelas) were found stuck in a storm water drain on the Century construction site. After our team creatively created a noose, we headed out to assist these pups. As the mom had been spotted nearby, these pups were safely retrieved and released into a nearby area with thick shrubbery, where they were happily reunited with her.

We LOVE opportunities to assist urban wildlife! Help us to help them by considering becoming a regular donor! R50 a month would assist us greatly.
