After the painful loss of her doberman in Johannesburg, she felt the void left by her beloved pet and was unsure if she was ready to welcome another dog into her life. However, when she learnt about SAFE, which had opened soon after the floods in 2022, she reached out to them and offered her help.<br \/>\nDespite working a demanding corporate job at the time, Victoria was determined to make a difference. She began by fostering two puppies, even convincing her boss to let her bring them to the office. The experience not only reignited her love for animals but also gave her a new sense of purpose. \u201cBeing involved with SAFE changed my life and gave me an opportunity to do something that was greater than myself,\u201d she explains. \u201cI had the incredible opportunity to work alongside some phenomenal human beings who believed in second chances and wanted to make a difference and took responsibility for change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-36307\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-291x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"291\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-291x400.jpg 291w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-768x1056.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-1117x1536.jpg 1117w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-1489x2048.jpg 1489w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-305x420.jpg 305w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-696x957.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-1068x1469.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-1920x2640.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/10\/20230214-dsc04717-scaled.jpg 1862w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/>BECOMING A DIRECTOR AT SAFE<\/strong><br \/>\nVictoria\u2019s dedication did not go unnoticed. After a few months of hands-on involvement, from fostering dogs to helping with marketing and various projects, she was approached by Kerry Janke, one of the original founders of SAFE, to join as a director.<br \/>\nAccepting the role was a natural step for Victoria, who had grown deeply connected to SAFE\u2019s mission. \u201cIt\u2019s a double-edged sword,\u201d she says of working in animal rescue. \u201cSeeing animals in heart-breaking situations is tough. A new level of empathy, love and patience gets unlocked.\u201d Yet, the reward of watching these animals recover and thrive makes every tear worth it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER<\/strong><br \/>\nVictoria\u2019s journey with SAFE has been filled with highs and lows. One of the most challenging aspects of fostering is saying goodbye. She recalls her first foster puppies and the deep bond she formed with them. \u201cIt was bittersweet,\u201d she admits. But over time, she learned that love also means letting go, allowing these animals to find their forever homes where they can continue to grow and thrive. Through her work with SAFE, Victoria has met incredible people who share her passion for animals. The rescue community on the North Coast is tightly knit, with various organisations collaborating to save as many animals as possible. Victoria is forever grateful to her mentors Kerry and Shaun Janke who work tirelessly at SAFE and are the heartbeat of the organisation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A NEW CHAPTER<\/strong><br \/>\nVictoria\u2019s move to KZN three years ago was unexpected and what was meant to be a brief escape turned into a permanent relocation as she fell in love with the area\u2019s laid-back lifestyle. \u201cThe beach, the sunsets and the community have made Umdloti feel like home,\u201d she says. \u201cThe stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg was precisely what my soul craved. Here, I found healing,\u00a0fulfilment and the opportunity to build the life<br \/>\nI had always envisioned,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW TO GET INVOLVED<\/strong><br \/>\nSAFE is always looking to expand their team.
