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.

🎄 Gabby’s Christmas Wish 🎄
At foster Jennifer O'Neill in Waterfall, Kzn

For months, Gabby wandered the streets alone — hungry, pregnant, and searching for safety. When she arrived at Lost Souls Animal Rescue KZN, she was carrying more than just her unborn pups… she carried the weight of survival.

She gave birth in our care, and every one of her babies now has a loving home. But Gabby? She’s still waiting. Still hoping. Still dreaming of a family to call her own this Christmas.

✨ About Gabby
- 🐾 Amstaff cross, approx. 2–3 years old
- 🐶 Exceptionally loving and loyal
- 👧 Great with kids, dogs, cats — even monkeys!
- 🌧️ Storms don’t faze her; she’s calm and grounded
- 💕 She thrives on affection and connection

Gabby is the kind of soul who will follow you from room to room, just to be near you. She’s gentle, playful, and full of heart. She doesn’t just want a home — she wants you.
NB She MUST be allowed to SLEEP safe and cared for inside your home.

If you’re ready to give the gift of love this Christmas, Gabby is ready to give you her whole heart.

Dearest Friends. I know so so many have been following Chase Boys journey. We struggled for so so so long with his severe determatitis. For the past 6 weeks he has been on Doggobone active raw, together with supplements incl Omega 3, coconut oil and extra veggies which I buy fresh from a farm store.

He is doing so so well on this natural diet. It costs about R620 a WEEK. Thanks to those that have previously sponsored. His weekly meals are being delivered on Thursday. If anyone is able to assist with a donation for the next delivery please know that any amount will so help. We will also put you immediately into the Xmas Cake Lucky Draw. Link attached.

Chase Boy From Broken to Brave

He has survived what No Soul should. Now he is ready to Love, Protect, and Belong.

🩵 Meet Chase 🩵
- 🐶 2½ year 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 female 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.

Meet Brie. She is the last of Gabriella's pups to find a loving forever home.

🐾💛Gabriella's little Baby Girl💛🐾
🐾 Amstaff cross 🐾

At foster in Kloof Kzn.
NB she must be allowed to SLEEP INSIDE with the family at night, safe and cared for, for the rest of her life. A responsible human needs to be at home during the day to care for a growing pup.

Mom is a American Staffordshire cross. She was found on the streets pregnant so we have no idea who the dads of the pups are. However we do know she will be medium- medium to big when all grown-up.

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.
