SPCA appeals for help after abandoned dog Wilson is found shivering on a beach

A dog named Wilson was found alone on a Cape Town beach, curled up on a broken couch that had washed ashore, according to a social media post shared by the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, Cape {town}Etc reports.

The organisation said Wilson was scared and shivering when he was found, and has used the video to appeal to the public for support in helping abandoned animals.

In its post, the SPCA addressed the person responsible for leaving Wilson behind, saying they could have contacted the organisation for assistance instead of abandoning him.

The post read: ‘We found him alone on the beach, scared and shivering, curled up on a broken couch that had washed up.’

The SPCA also urged animal lovers to support its work rescuing abandoned pets, adding: ‘Help heal them, body and soul.’


The appeal comes as animal welfare organisations continue to respond to reports of animals needing help across the city. In a separate case in August, the SPCA provided preventative care to 40 animals after a video drew attention to their living conditions

The organisation is asking members of the public to support its rescue work so that more abandoned animals can receive care and rehabilitation.
