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.

✨ The Chase Challenge ✨

Many of you have been following Chase’s journey and know how hard we’ve fought against his chronic dermatitis. After 4 weeks on Doggobone Raw, the change has been incredible — his skin is healing, his spirit is brighter, and we finally see hope.

But this lifeline comes at a cost: R600 every week. It’s not easy to sustain, yet it’s the only solution that’s truly working for him.

That’s why we’re launching The Chase Challenge:
We’re asking 10 kind-hearted people to commit to sponsoring R60 weekly. Together, you’ll cover Chase’s food and give him the chance to live free from pain.

💙 Will you be one of Chase’s 10 heroes?

Meet Storm 💜
Once broken, now healed—Storm is a 16-month-old Springer Spaniel x Border Collie with a heart full of resilience and love. His journey hasn’t been easy, but today he sits with quiet strength and gentle hope, waiting for someone to see the beauty in his story.

He is intelligent and deeply loyal. He’s the kind of dog who’ll match your energy on a walk, then curl up beside you when the day winds down. He’s ready to trust again—and he’s looking for a home that will honor the healing he’s fought so hard for.

🏡 Storm is looking for a loving home—one that understands the power of patience, kindness, and second chances. He is a high energy dog so he is best suited with a family that dont have young kids, or small animals.

Meet Chase 💛

This gorgeous 2½-year-old German Shepherd cross has survived more than most dogs ever should. But today, he sits with hope in his eyes and love in his heart, waiting for the one who’ll finally see him—not as broken, but as brave.

He is a gentle soul with a playful spirit. He’s loyal, alert, and ready to be someone’s shadow, hiking buddy, or couch companion. He’s been through the worst and still greets the world with a wagging tail.

🏡 He’s looking for a loving home—one that understands healing takes time, and love is the best medicine.
📍 Located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
📩 Message us at Lost Souls Animal Rescue KZN on 074 959 8477 if you feel that tug in your heart. Chase is ready to meet you.

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.
