The Grace Animal Sanctuary works hard to give abused animals a second chance. Our rescue and rehabilitation work ensures that animals are restored to good health and form, and can be placed in loving homes with caring owners.

The Grace Animal Sanctuary also strives to educate people on the treatment and care of animals to help prevent further problems in the future.

As well as our own operations, we also act as an umbrella brand and assist many smaller organisations operating in the animal rescue and welfare space, both with financial aid, assistance and donations.

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to stop animal abuse in all forms. Through rehabilitation and education, we transform the way that people care for pets so that both humans and animals can live in harmony.

Our Vision Statement

To see a world where animals are treated fairly and live without abuse or neglect.

Our Story

With a deep love for animals, a desire to make a difference and having been involved in various rescue organisations for roughly 19 years, Grace Animal Sanctuary founder Caron Burger had the dream of starting an animal rescue organisation for many years.

After meeting co-founder Marlize Stander and discussing her dreams to start an animal rescue organisation, Grace Animal Sanctuary was born.

4 years later, Grace Animal Sanctuary is going strong and growing fast. On course to reach their objectives, Grace Animal Sanctuary will leave a legacy of being a leading animal rescue organisation that saves helpless animals and transforms the person to pet relationship.

Our Goals

Short term goals

For the next few years, we’d like to grow the Grace Animal Sanctuary brand. We’d like to expand our team and scale our rescue and rehabilitation offerings so that we can help more animals on a larger scale.

Long term goal

Our long-term goal is to acquire property. We would like establish our very own care and rehabilitation center, Graceland, and use this space for our operations.

Volunteer, donate or get involved with Grace Animal Sanctuary and help us reach our goals!

Elana Lodewyk

I have a passion for animals and love the fact that I can learn something new from Caron everyday. Once you go into rescue you never turn back…

BRAG – Beagle Rehoming and Assessments also forms part of my portfolio which is a subdivision of Grace.  I have a massive love for the Beagle breed and after we discovered a huge need for assistance with this breed within the Western Cape, we started BRAG as a collaboration between Grace Animal Sanctuary and Beagle In Mind.
