Lost Souls Animal Rescue KZN

Lost Souls Animal Rescue KZN Rescuing abused, stray and abandoned domestic animals. There have even been times when she risked her own safety to uplift these animals.

Tracy McLelland Smit, founder of Lost Souls Animal Rescue KZN, began her rescue work in KwaZulu-Natal in April 2016. She would respond to calls about stray, abused, and neglected puppies, adolescent and adult dogs—some in severely poor condition—offering help whenever possible, depending on available resources. Rescued animals are taken directly to the vet for treatment. Once healthy, they are placed in foster care. Adult dogs with traumatic pasts are kenneled and rehabilitated until they’re ready for their forever homes. Lost Souls relies on public support in the form of cash donations and goods that can be auctioned or sold to help cover ever-growing expenses—vet bills, boarding fees, food, supplements, transport, vehicle repairs, and more. To date, Lost Souls has admitted over 6,000 neglected, abused, and abandoned animals.

Meet Baby Girl Hoppity Hope.

Bev Fitzpatrick contacted Jade about a dog that had been surrendered to her. The owner was a guy who lived on the beach with his puppy. It was New Years day and he knew that je could not give a puppy what but needed. And fireworks were a big worry.

Hope is going to be quite a big girl when all grown-up. We think she has Boerboel in her. She is absolutely Beautiful.

To apply to adopt Hope WhatsApp Paw Prints Rescue and Rehoming - NPC 2018/554039/08 PBO 930076636 on
060 685 0889 or pop in to meet her at 4 Clement Stott Road Bothas Hill in KwaZulu-Natal. Home checks and adoption process apply.

🎉🎉🌟 55th Birthday Appeal 🌟 🎉🎉

In celebration of my 55th birthday next month, I’m inviting friends and supporters to join me in giving the greatest gift of all—hope.

A donation of R55 (or any multiple) will go directly toward Lost Souls Animal Rescue, helping us provide care, healing, and second chances for dogs who were once lost but are now finding their way home.

Your generosity isn’t just a birthday gift to me—it’s a lifeline to these incredible souls. Every bit of kindness helps us turn heartbreak into hope.

If you’d like, share a photo or memory of a pet you love along with your donation, so we can celebrate the joy animals bring into our lives together.

💖 Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means the world to me and to the dogs who depend on us.

Our Story

Tracy Mclelland Smit, the founder of Lost Souls, started her rescues in KZN in April 2016. She would get calls of stray, abused and neglected puppies, dogs, kittens and cats, some in really bad condition, and respond to help them. There are times where she put her own life at risk to uplift these animals. Rescued animals are taken directly to the Hillcrest Vet Hospital to get treated. Once healthy they are then fostered until ready to go to a forever home. She is now a registered NPC. Lost Souls rely on the public for cash donations, goods to be auctioned or sold to raise funds to assist with the ever increasing vet bills, which to date is sitting at close to R70 000. To date Lost Souls have admitted over 1 500 neglected abused and abandoned animals.
