Yes we get bitten and bruised, but did we stop? No, we work through it because we have to. If we don't, who will be there late nights, early mornings and all hours in between.

Yes we put out a plea for financial assistance, do we receive help? Well, sometimes we are lucky enough to receive but most of the time we don't.

Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary always needs your help because we do not only help and rescue, we educate, we sterilize, we feed, we patrol, we pay veterinary bills, we do outreach, we help the elderly, we help the children, we do not expect a crown or applause, we do this because we found the golden thread of caring in the community broken and tethered so we chose to try and be the difference, BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP. Every R10 can add up to a R100 that can add to R1000 assisting us in covering our shortfall in the budget.

Please consider a monthly debit order, donation or contribution, backing our calling, financing a rescue stable for a month or two, funding a sterilization drive or outreach, patronization by arranging a fundraiser, sponsorship of a medical procedure or bill but most of all being our support because we are honestly in the community, for our community. Should you have the means to assist with venture capital as a company or business owner - that would be amazing too.

We currently sell pre-loved items and will have an Instagram "Rescue Thrift" link soon, we do have a small shop and all the income goes directly to our Sanctuary that costs us in care and feed alone up to R60,000, imagine adding fuel, wages, salaries and all other expenses. We also earn money by selling manure, we try our best to be as innovative as possible - but now we need those animal activists to be our backbone. In short - we need your help please 🙏 🙏, this is a sincere and honest request to open your heart and help us to continue with our daily activities and help those in need.

Any donations towards our expenses in maintaining this Sanctuary will be greatly appreciated and can be made to:
* Glen-Graze Rescue NPC
* FNB business Account
* Account number 62910283027
* Branch code 250655
* Reference: EXPENSES and your cell number if possible so we can at least send a deep and honest message of appreciation!
Section 18A certificates will be issued upon request as we are a registered PBO and EXCEED deals with all financial aspects.

Please help us 🙏

Remember those days when you "jiggled and jived" at The Barn venue where memories were made. Some Saturdays good and others absolutely splendid - not to mention those where you just wanted to hide behind a pillar from yourself 🤣?

Well, the fun is back in town and now you have a legit reason to have a blast on a Friday night, being dressed up as a Queen or perhaps a parrot or a goose - all to raise much needed funds for the voiceless ones. Prizes to be won for those having the most fun in dressing up or down. When last was saving a life so much fun and so incredibly easy - please contact Suzanne on 0822513355 for any enquiries or bookings. Limited seats so don't miss out on this one!

When: Friday 26 September 2025, starting at 7pm
Where: The Barn Venue , Old Sir Lowry's Pass Road Gordon's Bay
You are allowed wine (no corkage fee), regrettably no hardcore spirits as a Cash Bar will be available at the same good old affordable prices that The Barn is known for 🍻🍷🍾

Cost includes a 3 course meal and you can choose between vegetarian or normal - bookings essential so tables can be dressed up too for this occasion.

Please support Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary and help to leave this world a better place than yesterday 🙏

We just returned home after a child was snapped by a dog for not respecting his yard and place of safety. As much as it's the owners responsibility to secure his/her property, it is the responsibility of the parents of children to teach them right from wrong, respect for animals by not teasing, not throwing stones or even try and hit ANY animal.

We are so quick to jump to conclusions, but the truth is the determining factor on who was to blame for the dog's behaviour. Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary focuses on education, but we cannot do that alone without the parents also keeping their end of the deal - education begins at home.

Weekend means opportunity - thank you Animal Welfare Helderberg for allowing Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary to arrange a much needed mobile clinic for all and everything from removing stitches after sterilizations, vaccinations, deworming, tick and flea treatment and basic checks.

Your R100 donation can assist vaccinating a less fortunate dog, or R25 can deworm them. As little as R65 can assist with tick and flea treatment for a cat, or R150 can help a dog and keep them protected against those nasty creepy crawlers - we assist those in need and had the privilege to see the community pulling together all their change to help an elderly lady treat her much loved cat - what an example for others!

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

We appreciate calls of animals left abandoned because that means that somewhere out there angels still exist in a world gone mad, thank you to every caring person out there - James, you ARE the hope for so many hopeless voiceless ones out there 🙏

What does the word "normal" mean? Or "the norm" for that matter?

Well... news for some readers but a known fact for all our Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary family members, volunteers (also part of family boots & all) and supporters that we are all and everything EXCEPT NORMAL!!! We love all, we respect all and we care for all - that is our "NORMAL" ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for this opportunity to share my dreams, my joy, my happy place, my fears, my broken pieces and the battle that continues on a daily basis - Kfm 94.5 and the amazing Tracey Lange also standing in and up for those voiceless ones in desperate need for a better future. Meeting her was an opportunity of note and most certainly a moment for our chapter in the Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary and their daily continuous passionate mission in leaving the world a better place for all. 🙏🙏

Our informal sharing conversation was broadcast on KFM 94.5 between 9AM and 12PM during the "Mid-Mornings with Tracey" slot. True and straight from the heart - thank you for a morning filled with fun, tears and laughter 🙏❤️🫶

Tracey Lange is recognising Leading Ladies in local communities throughout women's month; women who actively go out into their communities with one goal: make a positive impact.

So what does Glen-Graze Rescue Sanctuary do that they barely have time to answer WhatsApp calls, messages or take other incoming "urgent" calls of a stray dog or request to take animals to clinic IMMEDIATELY, not wanting to wait in the queue - so we must please assist. You just roll your eyes towards your brain for reset mode and carry on with what you are busy with. Reset mode is quite a popular mode accessed numerous times a day. You should try that because when your eyes see what's going on in your overthinking and overwhelmed brain - they automatically choose to focus on what's going on where your hands are 😂🤣, way to scary in the brain 😇😂🤣!!

Our team consisting of two general horse handlers, our equine overseer, Inspector and Pierre was busy keeping the community safe after two horses that were left outside for over three months and unattended with community stepping in for safety sake of these animals, almost knocked an 80-Year old lady over and ran through a group of children playing innocently in the field and gravel road. Fences were damaged and the list goes on.

Upon taking these two horses home after catching them (about two hours later 🧐), we met up with even MORE horses and stallions chasing after the foal. This is just not acceptable, the paint and other horses almost knocked over by a truck on Macassar Road - no ways man, would you leave your child running over a busy road?

Animals remain the owner's responsibility and the Animal Protection Act also explains this very clearly. Three warnings ⚠️ issued and being monitored by our dedicated team.

So next time we do not answer a phone, just close your eyes, breathe and send a WhatsApp - we always try our best to accommodate all and everything. Thank you for those understanding community members that always have patience with our crew and their phones 🙏🙏

Gelding number 5 - thank you Cape of Good Hope SPCA for assisting us under the Mayoral Fund to help responsible owners to get those stallions gelded creating a safer environment for not only other horses and animals, but neighbours and other community members too.

This is a true example of what dreams are made of in our Rescue World ❤️🙏
