Partner With TEARS
We cannot do what we do without investment and partnership
Is Your Business Looking for a Charity to Support?
When you choose to support TEARS (The Emma Animal Rescue Society), your company is helping to make a positive difference to the lives of hundreds of homeless dogs and cats in Cape Town.
TEARS is a 25-year old welfare Veterinary Hospital, Rehabilitation and Rehoming Facility for up to 250 rescued and surrendered cats and dogs.
Our mission is to improve the lives of dogs and cats and pet owners living in under-served communities in the Southern Peninsula of Cape Town.
We invest up to R10M per annum in improving animal and human welfare by addressing the issues of pet homelessness and neglect by providing holistic pet-positive solutions through a One Health approach.
Our Four Areas of Outreach include:
- Pet Population Management through mass sterilisation and TNVR programmes
- Disease Control and Zoonotic Disease Prevention in the form of vaccination and parasite treatment programmes.
- Vet Support and free Primary Healthcare to at-risk pet owners who would otherwise have no access to pet care.
- Empowering Community Pet Owners through compassion education, pet care training and pet food support.
Our Goals:
- To improve animal welfare, to encourage people to treat animals with care and respect.
- To control, contain and reduce free- roaming cat and dog populations through humane and holistic solutions.
- To work towards eradicating rabies and other zoonotic diseases that are spread between animals and humans.
- To provide professional veterinary support and free primary healthcare services to indigent pet owners living in over-crowded and under-served communities in the Southern Peninsula of Cape Town.

We Rely on Donor Partners to Do the Life-Saving Work We Do:
