ABOUT FORA – Endless Hope not a Hopeless End
• FORA is a registered Non Profit Organisation
• FORA is a no kill shelter operating behind Westgate in Roodepoort on the West Rand
• FORA has helped animals and animal-lovers across Gauteng and as far afield as Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town, becoming known for their willingness to go the extra mile and take in any needy creature, even incurring medical costs to heal a sick animal when the bank account is empty.
• FORA receives wonderful support from the community and businesses, but no funding from government. We rely on faith a lot of the time and although we witness tragedy and suffering, we also experience miracles and the daily joy of helping and homing rescued animals.
• FORA takes in rescued, abandoned and lost dogs and cats, offering them a safe haven to live out their lives if they do not find new homes or are not reclaimed by their original owners.
• The enclosures and runs have adequate space for the dogs and cats to lead comfortable lives and they are regularly exercised.
• They are supplied daily with food, clean water and their enclosures are cleaned every day.
• All animals are sterilised, inoculated and dewormed while at the shelter and medical treatment is available for any who are injured or sick.
• Dogs and cats who have been traumatised are rehabilitated
• Strict home-checks are done before animals can be adopted.
• FORA has been established on the Roodepoort property for over 6 years as part of a 10 year lease granted by benefactor Mr Bill Joffe (now sadly deceased) in memory of his wife Francis Petlyn - except in the event of sale of the property, when the notice period is 3 months.
• FORA has over the past year been looking at affordable properties but these are few and far between, especially a property that would suit the shelter’s needs and still be within the area where they receive such great support from the community.
• FORA must raise at least R3 million for a new property + an estimated R500 000 for relocation/setup costs
• Interestingly, the notice of the sale of the property was received on 17 September 2009, the fourth anniversary of the death of FORA founder Marlene de Beer.
