Could you foster Mango? Elmarie is going into treatment
Elmarie must spend 6 weeks in hospital and needs a trusted person to foster Mango, a retriever.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South AfricaPosted Oct 1, 2026832 views
I'm going into inpatient treatment on Tuesday, for about 6 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Mango, my eleven-year-old retriever. Mango is a lap-cat who needs a quiet home.
I'm looking for a temporary foster within Pretoria. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Mango is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped.
I'd love to share regular updates and photos, and I'd love to pay it forward by volunteering at the shelter when I'm better.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts. Poor Mango, hope they feel better soon. My neighbor in Pasig donated after I showed her your page!
Sending love, Elmarie. Poor Mango, hope they feel better soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope things get better soon, Elmarie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
