Sunrise Animal Rescue

Sunrise Animal Rescue provides refuge to animals that have been abused, abandoned and neglected. We try to re-home as many animals as we can.

We are a registered NPC: 2019/415892/08

Sunrise Animal Rescue was born out of the need to help this impoverished community care for their animals. Witsand is an informal settlement located adjacent to Atlantis, approximately 55k

m outside of Cape Town centre. Although a large proportion of this community keep animals, there are no low cost veterinary services available to them. Our aim at Sunrise Animal Rescue is to help this community become responsible pet owners by offering financial, logistical, and educational support. We do this by identifying potentially “at risk” animals, transporting these animals to a veterinarian where they are treated and sterilised, and returning them to their owners. We strive to educate each community member we support on aspects of pet ownership relating to pet sterilisation, nutrition, tick and flea treatment, and general pet health. Additionally, should an animal be found abandoned and neglected or without a home, we strive to rehabilitate, sterilise, and re-home as many as we can, within and beyond Witsand.

Our Story

Vanessa and Wayne decided on a major lifestyle change in 2010, when they packed up and moved from the suburbs to a farm in Klein Dassenberg. The kids were out the house and the next challenge beckoned. The family has always had a huge love for animals of all shapes and sizes, and the shortage of foster homes and rehabilitation centres for these animals remains dire in South Africa. In 2011, with their newly acquired space, Vanessa and Wayne decided that they would start taking in animals who were lost, abandoned, or unwanted. Sunrise Animal Rescue was born out of a need. It is a place for animals that no-one else wants or can handle, and who would otherwise face euthanasia or further suffering. Our dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, and pigs have come to us from the streets, shelters, other rescue groups and individuals. Many are adoptable, and some are not. For those who are not, Sunrise Animal Rescue is a safe haven for them to live out their days in peace. Sterilisation is extremely important at Sunrise Animal Rescue. All animals who come to Sunrise Farm, leave sterilised. When animals find their forever home, we ensure that they leave having been sterilised, or have the promise from adopters that they will have them sterilised at their local vet. Sunrise Animal Rescue have many good natured adoptable dogs available. We welcome the help of other legitimate rescues to find great homes for them and we're always looking for adopters. Please have a look in our albums for adoptable animals, and contact us via Facebook or email us at [email protected] for more information.
