Mbwa Wa Africa Animal Rescue

Mbwa Wa Africa Animal Rescue Mbwa Wa Africa is a safe haven for injured and sick animals. We run a Rescue Centre as well as a Veterinary Clinic. As an NGO, we rely on YOUR help!🐾

Our first priority is to find loving and forever homes for the rescued dogs. Secondly, to inform about our work, increase awareness of the situation of the stray dogs and reach out to people, who are willing to offer help of any kind. We started off with building 5 kennel to accommodate the dogs and puppies we kept on finding and couldn't fit into our house - occupied by our 8 rescues already- any

more, until they would be recovered and ready to make a new owner happy. These 7 kennel by now are sometimes the temporary home for up to 35 dogs and several cats...

Nine weeks ago, little Toulouse found her way to Mbwa wa Africa.❤️

She arrived together with her sister, Nizza, after the two lost their mother to poisoning. Suddenly orphaned at just five weeks old, the sisters were left to fend for themselves far too early in life.💔

From the very beginning, Toulouse showed us what a sweet little soul she is.

She settled into shelter life beautifully, made friends with the other puppies, and quickly discovered that life is much nicer when there are full food bowls, soft beds, and people who are always ready for a cuddle.

Sadly, her journey hasn't been without heartbreak. A few weeks ago, Toulouse lost her sister Nizza after a sudden and unexplained illness. It was a devastating loss for everyone who cared for the two little girls.😔

But Toulouse has continued to grow into a wonderful young dog.

Now around 3½ months old, she is one of the most relaxed puppies you could ever meet. While the other pups are often racing around the shelter causing mischief, Toulouse is usually happy to find a comfortable spot to stretch out and watch the world go by. Of course, a good play session with her puppy friends is still essential, but afterwards, you'll probably find her back in her favourite napping spot.😴

She is gentle, affectionate, and gets along beautifully with both people and other dogs. Whether she's quietly enjoying your company or joining in on puppy adventures, Toulouse is simply a joy to have around.☺️

After everything she has already experienced in her short life, we hope the future has only good things in store for this lovely little girl.

One thing is certain, whoever is lucky enough to welcome Toulouse into their family will be gaining a truly special companion. 🥰

Last from our pink kennel block we like to reintroduce this wonderful pack. ❤️

Vekku, Sherkin & Redlin all came around the same time about a year ago. Two litters left without a mother when the pups were still very young. Vekku is very lively and loves a good bark. Sherkin and Redlin are more laid back and often shy with strangers. They live to play and go on avocado hunt. 🥑

Peps & Pillow were brought to us with old leg fractures. Pillow had served damage in one of his front legs, which led to an amputation. But Pillow does not know he has just 3 legs. 🙈 He's is super active and an expert jumper and loves attention. Peps has an old fracture in a back leg, but it does not cause her any pain. She is the sweetest, doesn't like to be the centre of attention but is just the more happy when someone gives her their full attention for cuddles.☺️

Watsit came with her sister two years ago. They were adopted last year and unfortunately, only one of the two returned to us after they disappeared from their new home. However, Watsits luck has turned around and soon she gets to move to Germany where her family awaits her happily. 😋

And then there's our wonderful Shrimo. With us for almost 4 years now and so very deserving of her own home and family. She's super playful and cuddly but has trouble with meeting strangers. Her signature propeller tail wag puts a smile on anyone's face and we still belive that one day her perfect person will find her. 💕

People found a bag and saw something moving inside. When they opened it, they found scared, skinny little Zoe. 💔

They called Six and he immediately went to rescue her, which was no easy task, since she was absolutely petrified and was biting around.

But he didn't give up and she made her way to our clinic. There her wounds were cleaned, she got a bath and then needed a lot of rest. 🙏

The first days, she would mostly hide and try to make herself disappear. But we sat with her, played sniffing games and simply showed her kindness and patience. And with that, Zoe opened up, started to tolerate touch and learned, not all humans are bad. ☺️

A few days later, she made her first dog friends, which went surprisingly easy and Zoe loves being in the company of other dogs. She still needs to learn a lot of dog social behaviour, but is getting there more and more. 🥳

She loves to play, explore and sniff. Probably for the first time in her life, she is comfortable, not scared of what comes next and simply gets to be a dog. 🐶

Welcome to your new life Zoe, we are so glad that our paths have crossed and that we get to see your wonderful self. ❤️

A few weeks ago, Buda's owner brought him to our clinic after he suddenly lost the ability to walk.💔

Buda is around seven years old and had lived a happy life with his family. Then, from one day to the next, everything changed.

The strange part was that we couldn't find a reason why.😔

There was no spinal fracture. No wounds. No obvious infection. Despite thorough examinations, we were left with more questions than answers.

So we focused on what we could do.

Day after day, Buda received physiotherapy, supportive care, and lots of encouragement from our clinic team. But after the first weeks, we started to lose hope. We honestly thought we might never see him walk again.💔

As we discussed his future with his owner, he sadly explained that he wouldn't be able to care for Buda if he remained paralysed. He is away from home a lot and simply wouldn't have anyone who could provide the care a disabled dog needs.

Apparently, Buda had been listening.

Because almost overnight, he decided he had other plans.

Little by little, he started standing. Then taking a few steps. And every day since, he has continued to improve.💪

He isn't back to 100% yet, and perhaps he never will be. But seeing him walk again after thinking we might never witness it has been nothing short of incredible.

These days, Buda has become one of our clinic dogs. He spends his days lounging around with his favourite people, happily watching the world go by, enjoying the company of the other dogs, and soaking up all the attention he can get.☺️

Whether Buda will eventually return home or remain with us is something time will tell.

For now, we're simply celebrating every step he takes.✨️

Raul is what we call a community dog.🫂

He doesn't belong to one family but to a whole neighbourhood. He lives on the streets, but the people around him know him, accept him, and make sure he has something to eat. Community dogs are an important part of life in many parts of Tanzania.☺️

But even a caring community cannot protect a dog from every danger.

One day, Raul was involved in an accident that left him with half of one of his back legs missing. When Six brought him to our clinic, it was immediately clear that the leg could not be saved and would need to be amputated.😔

From the very beginning, however, one thing was also clear: his community wanted him back.

They asked us to help him recover so he could return home, and we were more than happy to do just that.

Raul turned out to be one of the easiest patients you could imagine. He wasn't noisy or demanding. He wasn't particularly interested in playing with the puppies or making friends with the other dogs. Instead, he simply enjoyed finding a quiet spot, lying down, and watching the world go by.❤️

He was perfectly content just doing his own thing.

Today, Raul is back where he belongs. with the people who have cared for him for so long.

We love stories like Raul's because they remind us that not every street dog is alone. Many have people looking out for them, and sometimes all they need is a helping hand to get back to the life they know.

We hope Raul enjoys many more peaceful naps in his favourite spots, and if he ever needs us again, we know his community will call. 🥰

When Josy was found, she was lying in a ditch surrounded by rubbish and flies.💔

Her leg was one of the worst injuries we have seen in a long time.

The lower part of her leg was gone, the bone was completely exposed, and the remaining tissue was in a horrific condition. Even after all these years in rescue, it still amazes us that animals can survive injuries like this. How long Josy had been living with it, we don't know. What happened to her, we don't know either.

We are simply grateful that someone stopped, cared, and called us.🙏

By the time Josy arrived at our clinic, she was exhausted.

It quickly became clear that there was only one option. The leg could not be saved and had to be amputated.😔

Almost immediately afterwards, Josy seemed more comfortable. The source of her constant pain was finally gone.

But while her body began to heal, her emotional wounds will take much longer.

Josy is a very timid dog who is deeply afraid of people. Over the past month, she has slowly built trust with our clinic team, who have cared for her every single day. She now allows them to handle her and has started to feel safe around the people she knows.💕

With strangers, however, she is still very frightened.

For that reason, we have decided that Josy will remain with us. Returning her to the streets would not be fair to a dog who has already been through so much. She deserves a place where she feels safe, where she is cared for, and where she never has to suffer alone again.🏡

Josy is now a permanent member of the MWA family.

The only thing she is still missing is a sponsor.

If you would like to support one of our special residents, please consider sponsoring Josy. Your monthly donation will help provide her with food, medical care, and everything she needs to live the safe and peaceful life she deserves.

Welcome home, Josy. ❤️🐾

Highlighting another one of our disabled groups ☺️

First off was Ben, who came to us 4.5 years ago as a tiny pup. Benni was born with deformed legs but that did not stop him from being a troublemaker from day one. 😋 By now, he has calmed down a lot but is still one of our fastest wheelie drivers!

Next up was his bestie Kitamu. She was also probably born with damage to her legs. Kitamu is struggeling with stomach problems and needs a lot of extra care. She's still the sweetest, though, and loves to cuddle. 💕

Moto was brought to us after a horrible traffic accident. One of her back legs was too badly damaged to safe. Her other back leg is stiff to this day, but she can still use it to walk. No one can escape Moto when she comes with the cutest tail wag and big eyes for playtime. ☺️

Oldie of the group, Phoebe, also fell victim to a traffic accident which left her paralised. Phoebe refuses to this day to use a wheelchair and prefers to tap along with her group in her drag bags. She loves to sniff around and enjoys her sun baths. 🌞

Last to join was Manara. Another dog that was paralised in a traffic accident. She is a strong willed dog and has made herself right at home in her new group. 🏡

Little Carlos was brought to our clinic by his owner after being hit by a motorbike and suffering a broken leg.💔

Fortunately, our veterinary team was able to help. Naftal repaired the fracture by placing a pin in Carlos' leg, and thanks to his young age, he healed remarkably quickly.

During his recovery, Carlos became one of the happiest little patients we could have wished for. Full of energy, playful, and always looking for fun, he loved spending time with the other puppies staying at the clinic.🥰

Of course, he also made sure to keep us on our toes.

At one point, Carlos suddenly lost weight and refused to eat anything except scrambled eggs. Then, to make matters even more exciting, he disappeared and spent several hours hiding underneath a bush while staff searched the entire property for him.🥴

Thankfully, after treatment, plenty of patience, and a few scrambled eggs, Carlos bounced back and was soon his cheeky, playful self again.💪

Today, Carlos is back where he belongs, with his owner.

Without access to affordable veterinary care, a broken leg like this could easily have meant a lifetime of pain or even the loss of a beloved family member. Thanks to the support of our donors, we are able to help owners who simply cannot afford life-saving treatment, giving both animals and their families another chance.💕

Seeing Carlos run, play, and enjoy life again is exactly why we do what we do.

Happy healing, little man. ❤️🐾
