It’s a case of Paws for a Cause in Port Elizabeth as many of man’s best friends attended the final rehearsal for the first ever K9 fashion show to be held in the Eastern Cape.

First up and pretty in pink are Isis and Luna. They are strutting their stuff to raise funds that will go to two charities, one that deals with poisoned animals and another that deals with sea birds.

Arnold Slabbert, Say No To Poison: “A lot of people don’t think that when you put poison out you will kill a whole lot of creatures and not only the one you are targeting. Creatures affected by secondary poisoning are owls and domestic pets.”

Marizanne Ferreira, Event Organiser: “SANCOB, a local organisation, takes care of sea birds in the Eastern Cape and PE and on an annual basis. With a spill they get 2500 birds in and 1500 are the African Penguin. They take in 25 different species of sea birds and they need help.”

It’s not only tails and nails. There are outfits to be made and measurements to be taken.

Yanka Kwanita’s human makes sure everything is in place. Eevie and Studleigh two Animal Welfare Dogs looking for homes are taking the ramp for charity.

And what’s a fashion show without a sausage dog or two, Kei and Jasper “longing ” to hit the ramp?
