International Dog Day: From Shelter Toys to a “Tinder for Pets"
Loading player...
It’s International Dog Day, and while we celebrate the love and loyalty our furry friends bring, South Africa faces a tough reality: 1.7 million stray dogs with only 650,000 shelter spaces.
In this episode of The Social Impact Show, Sam Marshall chats with Jackie Quail, Shelter Channel Manager at Hill’s Pet Nutrition, about their creative initiatives to bring joy and hope to shelter dogs. From upcycled “Hillies” toys each dog choosing their own companion to the innovative Pet Matchmaker app (think Tinder for pets), Hill’s is making adoption easier and shelter life brighter.
Jackie also shares practical ways anyone can help, from volunteering and donations to simple social media support. Because every small action brings us closer to a future where more pets find their forever homes.
Discover the stories, solutions, and how you can get involved this Dog Day at hillstransforminglives.co.za/dog-day.
Jackie’s Call to Action:
“You don’t have to adopt to make a difference. Donate, volunteer, or just share a shelter’s post every small act helps.”
Tune in and get ready to rethink how we care for man’s best friend.
