Rescue, Treat, Rehabilitate and Rehome
Improving the lives of animals, together.
You are their HERO!
With your support, TEARS’ team is able to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome domestic animals in need across the South Peninsula.
Together
we CAN make a difference.

Rescue
Your contribution provides homeless and rescued animals with veterinary care under the direction of our veterinarian and veterinary assistants who focus on sterilisation, vaccination, injury, illness diagnosis and treatment.

Treat
The TEARS Veterinary Hospital treats around 17,000 animals per year, and operates from Sunnydale, Cape Town providing a vital welfare service to the Southern Peninsula’s most under-resourced communities as a means of providing veterinary treatment and rehabilitation support to injured, abandoned, abused and homeless companion animals.

Rehabilitate
Public generosity turns hopeless into hope. Our rehabilitation experts and animal behaviourists help transform the abused and neglected into happy, healthy animals that get a second chance at life within a loving home.
You can apply to assist with dog and puppy training and rehabilitation by contacting volunteer@tears.org.za for our schedule.

Rehome
Once fed, sheltered, socialised, rehabilitated and loved, TEARS rescue animals are ready to find their forever homes – with your help!
Nothing makes us happier than when you find a space in your heart and home for a rescue pet. To find your new furry forever-friend, visit our Adoption page.
Veterinary care includes radiographs, diagnostics, surgery, and a variety of treatments to community pets and those animals rescued and admitted by the TEARS Mobile Clinic Teams.
