As a rehabilitation centre that specializes in orphaned, injured or unweaned animals, it is seldom that SanWild receives an animal into its care that does not require immediate veterinary treatment or specialized feeding. These costs can be significant.

SanWild is offering you the chance to be part of a unique project and contribute financially by adopting any one of our wild animals. Sponsorship packages come in two forms:  

  • Sponsoring an animal for an amount of $50. This package will give you a stunning adoption certificate that will be mailed to you.
  • Sponsoring an animal for an amount of $150. In return for your contribution, you will receive a full case history of the animal that you have chosen. The package include a DVD presentation which will include information on the species to which the animal belongs, an update on its progress to becoming a free roaming resident of the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary and a stunning adoption certificate.  In addition to the above your package will also include a photograph that can be framed for your personal use. 

There is something deeply satisfying in knowing that your contribution have helped to save a wild animal that may otherwise have died or suffered in unacceptable conditions. When an animal finally walks free to join others of it's kind in a natural protected environment, there can be no greater joy or sense of achievement.

If you need any more information about our sponsoring programme please email our office at sanwild@pixie.co.za or phone +27 (0) 15-3187900.

If you have found an injured or orphaned animal and need help to rescue and save it please phone our emergency number on +27 (0) 833103882 or email rescue@sanwild.org  Obviously we can only attend to indigenous wild animals in South Africa. We also assist so-called problem animals - if you know about an animal that will be destroyed because it has become a problem to people, please let us know as well and we will help where we possibly can.

 

I Am An Animal Rescuer

My job is to assist God's creatures
I was born with the need to fulfil their needs
I take in new family members without plan, thought or selection
I have bought dog food with my last dime
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid
I have fallen in love a thousand times
and I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body

I have Animal Friends and friends who have Animal Friends
I don't often use the word "pet"
I notice those lost at the road side
And my heart aches
I will hand raise a field mouse
And make friends with a vulture
I know of no creature unworthy of my time

I want to live forever if there aren't animals in Heaven
But I believe there are!
Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind?
We may be master of the animals,
But the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven't learned

War and abuse make me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for humankind
We are a quiet but determined army
And making a difference every day

There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan
Nothing more rewarding than saving a life
No higher recognition than watching them thrive
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play
who only days ago, was too weak to eat

I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done
My home is never quiet
My wallet is always empty
But my heart is always full
In the game of life, I have already won!
