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.

🏡 He’s looking for a loving home—one that understands healing takes time, and love is the best medicine.

😭😭Stormy’s Story: A Plea for Hope😭😭

Six months ago, Stormy was found wandering the streets—alone, frightened, and broken. Abandoned to fend for himself, he endured relentless bullying from local children and attacks from other stray dogs. His spirit was fading.
But then he was rescued by Lost Souls Animal Rescue KZN.

Since then, Stormy has begun the slow, courageous climb toward healing. His eyes now hold a flicker of trust, his body a little more strength. But his journey is far from over.
We need your help.

Stormy’s ongoing rehabilitation includes specialized emotional care, safe boarding, and professional training to help him feel secure in the world again. Every contribution—no matter how small—helps us cover these vital costs and continue showing Stormy that he is not forgotten.

💔 Help us rewrite Stormy’s story—from survival to safety.

🐾 URGENT APPEAL: Help Chase Find His Forever Home 🐾

Chase has been waiting far too long — 11 months in kennels 💔. This beautiful rescue boy was taken in by Lost Souls Animal Rescue KZN after being tied up and neglected. He’s now boarding at Animal Anti-Cruelty League Durban & Pietermaritzburg, dreaming of a loving family to call his own.

🩵 Meet Chase 🩵
- 🐶 2 years old German Shepherd cross
- 🧠 Exceptionally intelligent
- 💕 Super sweet and affectionate
- 🌳 Loves garden playtime and belly rubs
- 🐾 Craves human companionship

He is a truly special dog who deserves a home that understands his breed and will give him the time, love, and daily walks he thrives on. He’s best suited to a calm adult household — no young children, cats, chickens, or small animals. With proper introductions, he may do well with a relaxed adult dog, or he’d be perfectly happy as your one-and-only.

> 🚫 If you’re looking for a guard dog, please do not apply.
> 🏡 He must be part of the family and sleep safely inside at night.

📲 To apply to adopt Chase:

Please share widely — let’s get Chase out of kennels and into the loving home he deserves 🐾💙

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.
