Sunrise Farm Animal Rescue

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 passion for animals of all shapes and sizes, and the need for foster care for abandoned and abused animals is a desperate one in South Africa. So in 2011, with their new lifestyle and space, Vanessa and Wayne decided that they would start taking in animals who needed their help.

Sunrise Farm Animal Rescue was therefore 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. Our dogs, cats, birds, horses and pigs have come to us from shelters, other rescue groups and individuals. Many are adoptable, and some are not.

Sterilization is extremely important at Sunrise Farm Animal Rescue. All animals who come to Sunrise Farm, leave sterilized. When animals find their forever home, we ensure that they leave having been sterilized, or have the promise from adopters that they will have them sterilized at the local vet.

Sunrise Farm 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 sunrisefarm.africa@gmail.com for more information.

Sunrise Farm Animal Rescue is completely self-funded, which is a monthly, if not weekly struggle. We are currently in the process of registering as a non-profit organization, but we rely on the generosity of heart of all our supported who donate food, healthcare products and services, and monetary donations. We could not do this without your support.
