If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. ~Chief Seattle of the Suquamish Tribe, letter to President Franklin Pierce

Here is a short version on our story
A.R.T. has come into existence out of necessity. We are a pro life non profit organisation. Our aim is to Sterilise, Educate and Rescue. Our dream is to educate so that the need to have animals removed is no longer necessary and to sterilise so that no more unwanted babies end up in shelters, and rescue those that are already unwanted or un-loved.

PETS (Pet Empowerment in Townships) - Western Cape

PETS strives to empower animals in townships and poor communities. We work with the community to improve the lives of these disadvantaged animals by giving them daily meals, warm shelters, regular inoculations, sterilisations and vet care in emergencies. We also rehome those ones that are unwanted, unloved or lost. PETS is run by a group of members that work full time and put every spare minute into helping animals. We are wholly indebted to all our wonderful foster families, volunteers and supporters; without their support only a small amount of what we do today would be possible. PETS is a registered, non-profit, pro-active, pro-life animal rescue organization.
