Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary

What more can I say than "thank you!!" to each and every person who made this possible! Just some pictures of some of the last female sterilizations that was done for 2024. All these mommas had their last litter and the best Christmas Gift was for them to not have babas again - to be free and enjoy the sunny summer days of December.

Thank you to donations towards their care as most of them had to stay to raise the offspring another two weeks before heading off to their new homes. All vaccinations done, dewormed and Frontline-washed heads 😂❤️🐱🐈

We paid R1200 for 40kg of cat food and a mere 500g was left after feeding, sharing and assisting areas where we dropped off.

Please consider helping us this last stretch of 2024 - Shades was booked in with a possible fractured leg, Lizzy for urgent tick and flea treatment and steri and so the list goes on.

Any donations towards sterilisations will be greatly appreciated and can be made directly to:
* Glen-Graze Rescue NPC
* FNB business Account
* Account number 62910283027
* Branch code 250655
* Reference: steri and your cell number if possible so we can at least send a deep and honest message of appreciation!

While busy with our K9 project we had three kids chasing down the hill making them look like a herd on stampede mode - we all knew something happened and all activities froze for a second.

"n Slang! 'n Slang! - help, die hond is gepik en kannie oppi!!" The faces was so intense uttering these words over and over that we packed up the clinic and started heading in a direction pointed out by them.

Upon arrival we found a beautiful large K9 mix breed and assessed the situation. Slowly we managed to pull the doggo to safety from under a bush behind a fence and rushed off to Animal Welfare Helderberg where Dr Blaine waisted no time, straight into theater and bloods where done diagnosing Babesiosis - a tick-borne disease that affects a dog's red blood cells.

This situation will hopefully change the view and perspective of all pet owners to check your dog daily for ticks, and correctly removing any parasites you find. This can be an effective approach to prevention since it takes a minimum of 48 hours for the Babesia transmission to occur once the tick begins feeding on your pet.

Once the symptoms starts, it could already be too late as Babesia blood parasites are transmitted by ixodid ticks and characterized by fever and intravascular hemolysis leading to progressive anemia, hemoglobinuria, and jaundice which might result in death. When the urine turns to a n extremely red colour, you know that this is hemoglobin and not blood but that the body is giving up fighting this ongoing internal battle against a deadly virus that can also spread from mom to babies.

Listen, learn and take this as an example to protect your loyal a best friend ever - they are your responsibility and knowing the area you live, take all necessary precaution to prevent this unnecessary suffering.

Monday, oh dear Monday... we started off by vaccination K9 project in Kramat, free vaccinations, deworming with tick and flea treatment by Dr May and "All about Veterinary nursing facility" group at 9AM.

Although it sounds like an easy task, it takes time to educate again and again on proper care and sterilization, almost like repetition for a school concert - but 32 dogs was done and dusted, ready for summer by 13PM!! This is what makes life worth while, knowing that a small act of kindness changed a world of one life - in this case 32 lives.

Unfortunately Glen-Graze does not support unregistered breeding and unsterilized dogs only received a Rabies vaccination. We had 3 commitments to neuter which will be arranged at the soonest so please, should you wish to assist in this - open your heart and make that donation. R450 can change their lives and prevent testicular tumors which are considered very common amongst intact male dogs.

In fact, up to 27% of unneutered male dogs will eventually develop one or more testicular tumors which can if left untreated, cost them their life. In total, they're estimated to account for at least 4% to 7% percent of all tumors found in male dogs - food for thought.

Any donations towards neutering these three males will be greatly appreciated and can be made directly to:
* Glen-Graze Rescue NPC
* FNB business Account
* Account number 62910283027
* Branch code 250655
* Reference: neuter of male and your cell number if possible so we can at least send a deep and honest message of appreciation!

Words fail to describe he heart filled with overwhelming gratefulness, overflowing with the feeling of thankfulness seeing the number of animals sterilized and so absolutely overjoyed with what Clare Travers and her team achieved! How do you even start to begin to say thank you for so many lives changed, knowing you have just saved lives by ensuring no more unwanted kittens and puppies to be born into this heartless and cold world.

Thank you for helping Glen-Graze without a blink of an eye with two dogs and 7 female cats, YOUR TEAM AT Animal Welfare Helderberg ARE ABSOLUTE STARS!! A mere thank you is just not enough 🐾🐾🐾

Have you ever starred in the eyes of an animal that does not believe that they deserve life?

One who has experienced the deep emotional loneliness of pain being shunned aside, the trauma and suffering that has significantly impacted their already broken spirit leaving you with a tail clenched between your legs and hopeless sense of self, despair, and a loss of purpose.

Meet Agriana and Markus - proudly sponsored with much needed NexGard South Africa Spectra by Agrimark Sitari by Mariaan - what a legend story of collaboration in the making!

This is what gives me hope, hope for change and hope for the future.

Any donations towards Agriana and Markus's expenses will be greatly appreciated and can be made directly to:

Before you judge, think, before you say anything, think AGAIN - we have been working these areas for long enough to be trusted that we will EDUCATE and maintain the level of care of these horses. Pypie is a good owner, doing his best to maintain a good level of care for his horse. Should we not help them to understand this, the lack of education will fall upon us. Who are we to refuse education for Randy? The truth of the matter is that we can refuse yes, but the influx of equine still remains a huge challenge. If Randy rather takes one of the existing horses in that area from someone who has one horse too many, isn't that a far better solution to prevent new horses coming into this area?

Animal Welfare Rescue, Rehabilitation and constantly aiming to rehome to a better environment and condition found from. All of the organisations are key to this but also of extreme importance is to understand that Welfare and Rescue works like a puzzle - the one piece fitting in the other. Keeping all to yourself because you might look inferior to another, is not the correct way to go about things as the animal's life is what it is all about.

Today, our little piece of the puzzle was to ensure good Veterinary care for two Kestrels -aiming to rehabilitate these birds so that they may be released back into the wild in areas free from poaching and with reduced human activity. The never-ending building and erecting of concrete jungles is honestly killing our wildlife and this remains a huge concern for us as Glen-Graze.

Meet our latest two victims of mankind - Jack and Rose. Two Kestrels perfectly created and intended to be wild and safe in their habitat which is now invaded by a foreign species called human greed. Kestrels are similar to falcons but are smaller and have hover for preying for food.

Thank you Cape of Good Hope SPCA wildlife section offering them a safe second chance of life!

I once had a right eye and nobody in my neighborhood can explain who and why I was kicked like a rugby ball and now I am stuck with a biiiig problem. Thank you Animal Welfare Helderberg helping out with this baby, I do not understand for the living life how and when this is NOT priority in our communities out there to accept responsibility and care for their animals - I mean, why?? How?? No way man, we need more work done and less Yada Yada - politics amongst people will not work wonders - support the cause and NOT the applause...

Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary has so many plans getting all the government role players involved and hope council will now understand that we are NOT sucking stories and photos out of our thumbs - serious round table should be scheduled as soon as possible.

All lives matter!
