The picturesque farming area of Bredasdorp, has been home to this society since February 1989. With some dedicated committee members, volunteers and 2 Inspectors the society fulfils a very important and meaningful role in the community. The area covers Bredasdorp, Napier, Elim, Wolvengat, Struisbaai, Cape Agulhas, Arniston, Klipdale, Protem and surrounding rural areas. Due to the fact that the only veterinary practice in the area is situated in Bredasdorp, the inspectors travel great distances to get to animals in need. Animals that require treatment are taken to the veterinary hospital in Bredasdorp for diagnosis and treatment. Often animals are housed at the AACL Kennels to convalesce.
