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.
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!
