Any and every sad or distressed puppy is in safe hands when Eunice Mgandela is around. Her boundless love was captured in a recent video showing Eunice tucking a puppy snugly inside her jacket and playing calming music to soothe its cries.
Kloof, South Africa (22 April 2025) – It takes a very special person with a very special heart to give endless love to the unloved.
Eunice Mgandela is one such person. She works as a dedicated Puppy Run Supervisor, tasked with the very important job of taking care of all the puppies at the Kloof and Highway SPCA.
She has helped socialise, home, and love thousands of puppies since 2014 when the Puppy Run was first built for the little furbabies in need of an extra loving touch.
“Eunice is their surrogate mother and loves each and every puppy that comes through her doors,” Kloof and Highway SPCA said.
A recent video shows Eunice “kangaroo mothering” a severely distressed puppy that had been put into the Puppy Run this week.
She shared how she placed the puppy in her jacket and played him some nice music to calm him down and to help him miss his mom a little less.
This little soul, although friendly and full of kisses, had been crying nonstop, and Eunice decided that the only way to work and console her new baby was to make a plan.
“I couldn’t handle his screams, crying for mommy. So I decided to be his mom…I feel sorry for this baby,” shares an empathetic Eunice.
Needless to say, there was no more crying as he lay warm and snug in Eunice’s jacket!
For so selflessly looking out for vulnerable and defenceless pups, Eunice, you are truly an angel on earth!
