Mbwa Wa Africa is a safe haven for injured and sick animals. We run a Rescue Centre as well as a Veterinary Clinic. As an NGO, we rely on YOUR help!🐾
Our first priority is to find loving and forever homes for the rescued dogs. Secondly, to inform about our work, increase awareness of the situation of the stray dogs and reach out to people, who are willing to offer help of any kind. We started off with building 5 kennel to accommodate the dogs and puppies we kept on finding and couldn't fit into our house - occupied by our 8 rescues already- any
more, until they would be recovered and ready to make a new owner happy. These 7 kennel by now are sometimes the temporary home for up to 35 dogs and several cats...

Our little Soso got so lucky!🍀🐶
After just 6 weeks with us she already found a home with a lovely family!
Thank you so much for adopting!❤️
Taking an animal home from a rescue and giving her all the love and care she deserves means saving her life and freeing up space for other animals in need.🐾
Our shelter is overcrowded to the limit; we have a strict admission stop now in order to survive…
Please consider adopting if you are looking for a dog it saves lives!🙏🏽💫

Are you thinking about adding fun, love and snuggles to your life, meaning: adopting a dog?! 🐶
Here we go again 🙃
Twelve beautiful puppies are still waiting at Mbwa Wa Africa for their forever home!
Today we want to introduce our 6-month-old doggies.💫
The siblings Taco, Weka, Tui and Kiwi had a rough start in life.
Unwanted, they were almost starved to death, and we got them just in time so save the tiny 5 weeks old souls. Regardless they always have been friendly, playful and very sweet and they remain to be since today. 🐕
They are just about 10 kg and will remain to be smaller dogs.
The white pup Joey had a similar fate. He is a big boy with a lot of energy and a deep bark what he will show of to any stranger.
Once he knows you, he loves to cuddle as well and won’t leave your side.😊
And like all our animals of course vaccinated, treated for parasites and neutered.
They are perfect little companions! 🐾💞
If you are willing to give them a forever loving home, please contact us!
He was found on the streets of Arusha in a very rough condition.
Manolo is an older dog, was skinny and full of parasites, had tumors growing under his eyelids and was just tired and exhausted.
We found out that he was suffering from a very bad case of tick fever as well, but with the proper treatment he improved drastically and by now, he has gained a lot of strength and weight.🙏🏽
His tumors however were a bit of a mystery to us, and we are still not sure what caused them. Since there is the possibility that it is TVT he got treated with Vincristin over the past weeks and they disappeared for now. What’s causing his eyes to get very cloudy we can’t tell, but today Manolo is almost blind.
However, that does not stop him from roaming around, no fear of what he might hit, where he could fall down or who he might cross 🙈
One thing is for sure Manolo is fearless and has a strong will to live. 🙌
If he has the chance he will follow us everywhere in hope of food, he loves cuddles and most of all, feeling save.
That Manolo is alive and well is only down to our clinic team who never gave up and continuously looking out for him, making sure he is comfortable, battering every new health issue at a time.
We can only imagine, all the things he has been through, living on the streets. But no matter what challenge comes his way, he will fight. 💪
Manolo is such a special soul and we are glad to have him with us and can make his life as comfortable as we can for whatever time he might have left.💞

Naftal is out on TVT rounds again 🥳
After losing the funding for the weekly TVT rounds last year, the programme was on ice until February this year. 🥶
Canine Transmissible Venereal tumors are infectious tumors in dogs that are transmitted through mating or contact, especially licking of affected areas like the face or ge****ls. If untreated, the tumors can metastasize and it can lead to the death of the dogs.
The treatment consists of a weekly chemotherapy, the amount of treatments depends on the severity of the disease. 🏥
During our spay/neuter & vaccination campaign in Januray, we saw so many severe TVT cases that we decided to bring it back to life, financing it through your donations. On top of the general shelter costs, it is not an easy task, but letting the dogs suffer is also not an option.
Neither is having the dogs here for several weeks or having the owners bring them once a week, since most of these dogs come from families without means of transportation or live on the street. 🏡
So, here we are, Naftal is driving out once a week to treat the dogs at their home base, making sure they have a chance and can lead once again, a happy and healthy life. Often, he is out until very late until every dog on his current list has received treatment. And you can be sure, once a dogs treatment is done, there's already several waiting to receive help next.💔
A big thank you to all our donors for supporting us and making this important work possible 🙏🏻
And of course, a big thank you to our Naftal, for your dedication and care for all these animals, that would receive no help if it wasn't for you. ❤️

A true survivor!🫶🏾
When James was brought to our clinic, he was in a very rough shape to say the least!
He had been fighting with monkeys who left a huge injury on the left side of his body.
His spleen and several other parts that definitely belong inside a dog’s body, where hanging outside. And the worst part, he had been lying like this for at least three to four days 😔
It was a miracle that he was still alive, and another miracle was accomplished by Anna, Naftal and the rest of their team who immediately did an emergency surgery on James.
His spleen had to be removed, and everything was put back into place. 🙄 At this point, James was far from being out of the woods. For the first few days he was still in a very bad condition, he wouldn’t eat, and it was not clear if he would live.
But our clinic team never gave up and with care around the clock, James slowly got better.
With patience and a lot of love, he turned the corner and bit by bit found back to live. Today, James is a very happy and outgoing dog. 🐶
He goes on walks, is back to chasing monkeys and is overall just a joy to watch.
His owners, who even have visited him and were genuinely invested in his well-being, finally could take him home yesterday.
And just like us they were so happy to see him healthy and thriving!
We are so incredibly proud of our clinic team for pulling this off. 💪
However, they went with the promise that if James ever has unexpected problems he will return.
The best of luck sweet boy!🐾🍀🩵.

The heart and essence of Mbwa wa Africa is to try everything in our power to ensure that each individual dog that comes into our care is given the best possible chance to recover, rehabilitate and be re-homed.
The foundation of our welfare policy is that dogs in our care not only have the basic needs required to sustain the necessary five freedoms:
· Freedom from hunger and thirst (food and water) All animals deserve access to clean water and a well-balanced, nutritious diet. ...
· Freedom from discomfort (shelter) ...
· Freedom from pain, injury and disease (medical care) ...
· Freedom to express normal behaviour (exercise) ...
· Freedom from fear and distress (love and understanding)
But are given every opportunity to not only survive but thrive.
This includes, but is not limited to training, socialisation, enrichment, mobility aids, individually orientated physiotherapy and medical programs along with genuine and stable human love and affection to promote strong human-dog bonds and secure relationships.
We believe every dog has the right to be nurtured in a way that allows him to reach his full mental, physical and emotional potential.
