The Pit Bull Sanctuary South Africa

☕🐾 Welcome to Rescue Roast! 🐾☕ If you’re new here, you might be wondering what we’re all about… so let’s spill the beans! 😉

💛 Rescue Roast is coffee (and decadent rusks!) with a cause. Most of our coffee bags feature real animals from our partnered rescues (with a few special creations in between!) — and with each purchase, a direct donation goes back to that rescue.

That means your morning cup isn’t just delicious… it’s helping feed, heal, and rehome animals across South Africa. 🐶🐱🐴🦉

✨ Here’s how it works:

1. Shop by your favourite Rescue or favourite animal.
2. Sip away knowing you’re making a difference.

So grab a mug, settle in, and join us on this mission: because Every Cup Helps a Pup (and more!). 🐾

Rescue Roast is premium, locally roasted Coffee that helps animal rescues with every sip. Shop blends that brew change—one cup at a time.

Guess who is coming home tomorrow!!!!

This trooper has been off of pain meds for three days and she’s moving around like nothing happened. She is next level tough.

So excited to have the old, tank girl Leah back 💣

Thank you to one of the most beautiful humans I know, inside and out, Annarie. She’s super beautiful and an insanely good vet. Dankie jou mooi mens. So dankbaar vir jou. Sonder jou sou ek vir Leah moes laat gaan het. Jy het haar lewe en my hart gered.

A big thank you to everyone who have graciously sponsored towards one of our boys or girls. Without your support, we cannot do what we do. There will be no Sanctuary for these previously abused and fought angel faces.

Below is a chart of who has been sponsored and who still needs a sponsor for September. The faces still needing a sponsor, will be Uber grateful to also get themselves fully sponsored 🐾🙏🏼

Update on Alara, from Riana at No More Tears.
Thank you Riana for visiting this sweet little lady as often as you possibly can 🐾

This forgiving sweetheart is in such good spirit. Despite being dealt some bad hands by humans, typical to Pit Bull temperament, she has such a love and fondness towards humans. She is a cross, but her affection towards humans is real 🤗

She had as much as could be done stitched up last week. Unfortunately there isn’t much that can be pulled together. So a fair portion of her open wound will still be treated as an open wound. The little ear is still an ongoing “wait and see how it heals” situation. But this queen is a soldier. She’s just so happy to be in a safe space, with ample food and loves and cuddles.

I will be doing a video today, to address all the many requests of people desperately wanting to adopt her. She’s obviously touched many hearts and it’s much appreciated.

I am so super grateful that there has been an incredible response from the public, to cover her vet bills. I am sure No More Tears share my gratitude. If not for many incredible people, they would be sitting with a massive vet bill for her now, and not us and them would have sleepless nights over paying it. So a big thank you.
Photos in the comments section, post surgery.

What does give me sleepless nights still, is knowing I can only accommodate her if I can get a camp up, to move Togo. And this camp situation just ain’t camping at the moment. We are still desperately trying to source a 2x3m or 2x2m well looked after, secondhand Wendyhouse. Annnnd we are still needing high security, smallest aperture Clearview panels. We are running out of time, to create a safe space for precious Alara. Also, Togo will do so well in his own camp. He is by far the most ‘game’ dog we have here. He really does not like other dogs and he so needs his own man cave 🐾🙏🏼
To put a man cav up for this guy, we are looking at R12 000. We posted a video of him, not too long ago, where he broke open larger aperture Clearview, because other dogs and he really does not like the other dogs.

I have had people message, with offers to build a Wendy at good a price. Unfortunately we just don’t have the funds to pay R5000-R7000. We have R1500-R2000.

A big thank you to Brunilda, who on behalf of FNB Cares organised a very generous donation of filling, top soil and cement. Let’s see how far we get with flood mitigation here 🙏🏼
Rain is coming and we are racing against the inevitable!

My little queen! Leah is doing so well. I am so proud of her. Tough girl, this one.
They couldn’t do her skin graft yesterday. Her heart rate dropped after being under sedation for a few hours. So they woke her up after fixing her knee. They say she’s strong and her vitals are good and they can do the graft under light sedation today 🙏🏼🐾
