Glenda’s Dog Rescue

Glenda’s Dog Rescue Established in 2022, Glenda’s Dog Rescue is a non-profit organization located in Orange Farm (PBO no 930079007).

Our primary goal is to alleviate the suffering of animals that are lost, abandoned, neglected, abused, or ignored in the townships. We also aim to educate pet owners on proper animal care and ways to enhance their pets' living conditions. We facilitate the adoption of abandoned or unwanted animals and perform sterilization procedures on approximately 12 to 16 animals each month in collaboration wi

th Lets Spay # SA. Every dog leaving our shelter, whether sterilized or recovering from illness or injury, is vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed, and sent home with a sturdy wooden kennel, food bowl, and water bucket. Moreover, we distribute kennels to other dogs in the townships in need of shelter, having already delivered over 1800. On a monthly basis, we distribute 1200kgs of food to feed 50 dogs in the township, whose owners require assistance for various reasons, as well as the dogs in our shelter. Our shelter in the township has an on site, mobile and highly experienced individual who responds to calls for help from all township residents.

Trub-Bul is an 8-week-old male puppy with a playful and mischievous personality.

He has the distinct markings and sturdy build that hints at possible Rottweiler lineage, though his curious nature often leads him into trouble.

Whether he's chewing on toys or getting into little adventures around the house, Trub-Bul's charm and energy make him irresistible, even when he's being a little naughty!

His boundless enthusiasm and eager attitude will surely make him a fun and loving companion as he grows.

Pardon’s story is one of heartbreak but shows incredible strength.

Pardon was abandoned by his previous owner as a puppy and left to fend for himself on the rubbish dumps in the township.

When we found Pardon he was very young and was in a terrible condition, suffering from mange and covered in ticks and fleas yet even then his spirit shone through his “will” to live was clear and we knew that we had to help him.

Today Pardon is a healthy 18 months old medium breed dog thriving in our care, he has been sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped and is good with all his canine friends at our shelter and the 4 cats we have there, he loves people of all ages and is sweet and gentle and is longing for a family to call his own.

Pardon has one black eye and one white eye which makes him look different but unique, people often overlook him because of this but those who take the time to know him well discover a sweet, loyal and gentle soul who only wants to be loved.

Pardon has so much to offer to a family who can see beyond his appearance, if you can help Pardon please contact me.

To meet Pardon or learn more, please contact Glenda Pickering 082 901 0763

This is Mikki a 5/6 year old boy considered to be old in the township, who was pushed out of his owners yard and forced to survive alone when he wasn’t wanted anymore.

Mikki didn’t know what he had done wrong and couldn’t understand why he was no longer allowed back into his home, he sat outside the gate for a long time but received no attention from his owner and was forced to find food and water on the rubbish dumps but always returned at night to sleep outside his gate hoping that he would be allowed back in his yard, eventually a neighbour called us and asked us to help Mikki which we did and today he is this magnificent dog in the picture.

Mikki is good with other dogs and adapts easily, he is loyal and loving and extremely friendly to every body he meets, he loves people, young and old and enjoys the love and attention he never received from his previous owners.

Mikkis heart was broken when he came to live at our shelter but today he is a happy, healthy boy looking for a new chance at life and a home of his own, he has been vaccinated, sterilized and microchiped and can’t wait to get out of our shelter if you can help Mikki please contact me.

Roxy is an old lady, she didn’t bark so she wasn’t wanted any more, tied up with no escape, she spent her days on a chain often without food and water, with no shelter and ignored by her owners, simply there to bark and alert her owners to any criminal event that might occur.

Roxy is not old only 8/9 but too old for the township, she has been vaccinated, sterilized and microchipped and has earned her place in the sun, she is good with other dogs and people of all ages, if you can give Roxy a place to relax and enjoy her golden years she will amaze you with her love and loyalty, she fits in everywhere and loves everything and will make the most incredible companion or “family dog” if you can give Roxy a space in your heart and home please contact me.

Ash’s journey to us is one of heartbreak, she was surrendered to us after giving birth to puppies as her owners chose to keep one of her puppies and give her up instead. Sadly, this is a scenario we encounter far too often and one we work hard to discourage.

At first, Ash couldn’t understand what she had done wrong, she had loved her puppies and her home dearly, yet she found herself in an unfamiliar place, separated from her beloved pups,
the loss was overwhelming and Ash spent her first days at our shelter lying alone in her kennel, inconsolable but with time, patience and gentle care from the shelter staff, Ash began to heal, she slowly warmed up to her new environment and regained her confidence, showing us the sweet and loving dog she truly is.

Ash is a 2 / 3 year medium breed dog, that has been sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped, she gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and sexes, adores humans of all ages, and has even befriended the shelter’s resident cats.

What Ash needs now is a family or person who will love her unconditionally and never give her away again.
She’s ready to trust and settle into a forever home where she can finally feel secure and cherished if you can provide Ash with the love and stability she deserves, please contact me.

Tytan is an amazing dog but is not coping at our shelter after being abandoned by his owners, he was surrendered to us when his humans decided that they couldn’t live together anymore and Tytan was in the middle of an ugly battle between the two of them and was eventually surrendered to us.

Tytan is loving and loyal and spends his days sitting and wondering why he has been abandoned, he is confused as to why he is not wanted and tries to understand why he has been left to sit in a cage at our shelter.

Tytan greets everyone who comes to our shelter expecting someone to fetch him and take him home, it is heartbreaking to see how Tytan misses his previous owners even though his previous life was not a good one, full of neglect and abuse.
Tytan is a 4/5 year old boy who has been sterilised, microchipped and vaccinated, he is the perfect family dog and desperately needs to find a new human or family to call his own, he needs to be wanted and can’t understand why he is now alone, if you can help Tytan please call me he really needs you.

11/01/2025

Olie is without doubt the most grateful and kindest dog we have at our shelter, he just makes the best out of every minute of his life and never stops thanking us for saving him. Olie will never forget where we found him, starving and alone tied up behind a deserted shack, emaciated and scared of everybody and everything and is forever grateful for the second chance at life that we gave him.

We know nothing about Olie except that he is approximately 5/6 years old, medium breed and is a joy to have around, he brightens the darkest day with his contagious smile that is always on his face.

Olie is simply a beautiful dog, friendly with everybody he meets human and canine, young and old, sadly he has the scars on his face from beatings he must have suffered in his previous life which will never go but Olie has forgiven and forgotten the people who treated and neglected him so badly.

Olie is sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped and is ready to get out of our shelter and can‘t wait to start his new life in a home of his own where he can bring joy and happiness to his new owner.

If you need a dog to brighten your life Olie is the dog for you, please contact me you won‘t meet a nicer dog than Olie.

Darcy hasn’t got much going for him he isn’t cute or good looking, he looks ok now, but he didn’t always look like this and has endured suffering and hardship throughout his entire young life.

Darcy wasn‘t wanted and was one of the thousands of unwanted puppies in the township, he was sold as a puppy to a boy for 50 cents who took him home, but the boy’s Mom didn’t want him so he lived outside sleeping on the doormat, fed sometimes but often not, this was his life as he grew he discovered he could find food on the rubbish dumps and this is where we found him dehydrated and malnourished seeking for food.

Darcy is 2 / 3 years old and has been sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped, he needs to find a safe home where he can be the dog he was meant to be, he is a nice dog just wanting to be friends with everyone both human and canine of all genders and all ages.

Darcy doesn’t stand much of a chance to be adopted but we are trying for his sake, if you can help a dog like Darcy, please contact me

Mason didn’t look like this when we fetched him from behind the shack where he had been left when his owners relocated and didn’t know what to do with him.
Mason was left tied up with no shelter, a few pellets thrown around him and a water bowl that was empty, how long he had survived like this we have no idea but if we hadn’t arrived to fetch him when we did he would not have lived much longer as he was extremely dehydrated, virtually a bag of bones and could hardly stand when we arrived, even in this situation Mason welcomed us with a wagging tail and couldn’t stop licking us to show his gratitude.

Today Mason is a gorgeous boy who is happy to be alive, he is 3-4 years old, has been sterilized, microchipped and vaccinated and just can’t wait to get on with his life out of our shelter, he is a joy to be with and loves his canine and human friends of all ages.

Mason is simply a great dog that would fit into any family and make a perfect family dog or a loyal and loving companion to a single person, if you can help Mason please call me he will be so happy to meet you.

Peanut is a courageous 3-month-old female puppy with an indomitable spirit. Despite surviving a battle with Parvo and enduring horrific abuse, her strong will to live shines through in everything she does.

Peanut is resilient and brave, she has overcome unimaginable hardships, and now she’s learning to trust and love again.

Her small frame belies her immense strength, and while she’s still cautious, her sweet and gentle nature is beginning to blossom.

Peanut is a true survivor, full of hope, and is slowly but surely finding her way into a world of love and care.
