Goal
This World Rhino Day we honor man and Rhino’s best friends, the K9’s that work tirelessly behind the scenes, to keep not only our beloved rhinos safe, but also the humans who dedicate their lives to saving an iconic species. Our heroes, Duke and Hunter …..and very soon a 3rd K9… will take a bullet for the rhinos and humans who share their lives and they deserve only the best care.
Our WRD fundraiser will be directed towards upgrading our camps and kennels for our K9 team, building agility structures for physical training and mental work, new tracking harnesses and collars as well as the necessary supplements and preventative treatments against ticks and internal parasites. We also want to plant indigenous, shady trees at their camps and the rhino bomas to provide much needed, cool resting spots, out of the summer heat. Last but not least we would love to set aside an emergency fund for veterinary treatments as these dogs operate in an area with many natural dangers i.e. snakes, wild animals and difficult terrain.
Let’s honor and support this vital part of our rhino conservation team and show them that they truly are good boys. You can support our rhino K9's…Duke, Hunter (and later on, our newest patrol and tracking dog, due to arrive before the end of the year), donate once off towards the kennel upgrades, Bravecto, dogfood, toys, harnesses, new collars, vaccines, vet fund etc.
