Come on guys….. You KNOW you need our coffee blends to get you through your days 🐾🙏🏼

The Pit Bull Sanctuary South Africa, based in Johannesburg, is a sanctuary committed entirely to giving Pit Bulls and Pit-type dogs the care, respect, and love they deserve. With thousands engaged online and a growing community of supporters, this sanctuary creates a haven for these often-misjudged breeds.

Focused on rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming, the team tackles some of the toughest cases—neglect, fear-based behaviour, abandonment—always guided by the belief that every Pit deserves a shot at a loving home. Beyond providing shelter and medical attention, they invest in educating adopters, fostering understanding, and nudging public perception toward compassion.

Still volunteer-led and community-powered, The Pit Bull Sanctuary South Africa operates purely on the generosity of supporters. From emergency live videos to heartfelt success stories, they’re building a future where these dogs are celebrated—not feared.

MANDELA DAY
18 JULY 2025

Our biggest need at the moment is to flood proof our enclosures. For this, we need cement and bags of grass seeds. No, we do not want to cover everything in cement. These dogs need grass. Studies have shown that that grass has many psychological benefits to dogs in the rescue system. We need cement for their sleeping huts. We are busy filling each enclosure/yard with soil, to elevate it.

Here is the tricky bit: Before we can put cement down in the sleeping boxes, we have to insert the pipes for the planned underfloor heating system. We need polyurethane 16mm pipe (on rolls) for this. We need 6 meters of piping, per sleeping box. We have to cover 40 boxes. If we do it ourselves and we just purchase the pipes, we are looking at around R19 000. If we get a company in to do it for us, we are looking at R38 000. I am going to try for the DIY option 🙏🏼

What we are after this Mandela Day:
* We are trying to get the funds in to buy the pipes.
* We need to get enough cement in to do all the sleeping area floors.
* We need thin polystyrene sheets to isolate the pipes from losing heat.
* We have to buy large bags of kikuyu grass seeds.
* Treats and corporate team building efforts are also welcomed.
* 67 debit order sign ups, so we can keep on doing the work we do.

You can:
* Donate R6,7 or R67 or R670 orrrr R6700 🙃
* You can donate 67kg of cement, or 67 bags 🙃
* You can donate 67 meters of the piping that we need, or 6,7 meters 🙏🏼
* You can donate 6,7kg of kikuyu grass seeds.
* You can collect 67 bags or tubs of treats, or 67 toys.
* Come spend 67 minutes with previously abused Pit Bulls and Pit type dogs.
* Sign up for a debit order (starting from only R50):

🐾 SOLD 🐾

Mense, as many of you may have seen, I am trying to start up my own online indoor plant nursery, in order to not have to stress myself to death every month, trying to fund monumental expenses. I know many rescue workers earn from their rescue- and welfare work. But I don’t. Every month I have to hustle and work myself to death to fund personal living expenses, my kids’ stuff and shortfalls on the Sanctuary. It is honestly bone crushing to run a Sanctuary at home (no boarding kennels or out house dogs), be Mommy and keep everyone and everything alive and well.

So, I do have some rare seedlings that I am busy raising, so they can be ready for Spring. But reality is that I can’t wait until Spring.
I used to be a destination wedding photographer, before the dogs happened. Travelling for weddings and edit for days is not possible if you run a home based rescue. Especially not one filled with Pit Bulls. I had to cut back drastically on my photography job and take a massive earning cut, when I chose these dogs. Not having tons of public support, makes it worse: Less personal earnings, but a lot of extra expenses to cover.

Anyways, I HAVE to purchase an ‘incubation station’ for more seedlings. Currently I am moving little babies around, all day. And there is also only so much space to keep all of them. I also have to purchase seedlings and cuttings, so I can start selling up a storm, come end August.

The nursery will be run through my personal capacity. But as mentioned, I have to always figure the shortfalls out. That, and as much as some may think, people working in welfare have expenses, families, responsibilities and needs like having to eat.

I am going to post easy ‘you-seriously-cannot-kill-this’ plants on the page, tagging the new nursery. I hope I can sell these plants, so I can get that ‘incubator’ and buy seedlings and cuttings.

First up: Two young XL Spathiphyllum Sensations (known as Giant Peace Lily). They are young still. They will become big and beautiful, like their mother. I have attached her at the end as well. The last two images are of the mother plant. These young ladies are R250 each. Mommy is not for sale.
Postage for buyers own expense, or collection in Bredell.

Please send a DM or WhatsApp to 0793440411 if you would like to get one (or both) of these youngsters.
