PACK A PET BOX

🐾 ARO Invites the Public to “Pack a Pet Box” this Mandela Day

Giving Back—One Box, One Pet, One Act of Kindness at a Time

Cape Town, South Africa – This Mandela Day, the Animal Rescue Organisation (ARO) is calling on animal lovers, schools, businesses, and volunteers to join forces for the Pack-a-Pet-Box Party—a hands-on community event aimed at helping vulnerable pets in under-resourced communities.

Taking place on Thursday, 18 July 2025, the event is part of ARO’s larger Mobile 3 Campaign, which is raising funds to launch a third mobile veterinary clinic to serve areas where access to vet care is limited or non-existent.

🐶 What’s in a Pet Box?

Each box will include food, treats, collars, leads, bowls, and educational material for pet owners. Once packed, these boxes will be distributed through ARO’s new Mobile Clinic, reaching pets in communities like Jim se Bos, Phumlani, Egoli, and beyond.
