Rescue | Rehabilitate | Rehome


Daisy Animal Rescue Trust (DART) has a vision to raise funds to build and open a rescue and rehabilitation centre. This would alleviate the burden of overcrowding we often experience and with a rehabilitation centre we could help many more dogs and cats in distress. Every one of these animals deserve a second chance!

Please help us reach this goal – we are in desperate need of your assistance.

The story starts with an abused, neglected and lost mixed breed stray female dog, living in the bushes near Melkbosstrand, which nobody could manage to get near to, to assist her. In an attempt to again the dog's trust and then rescue it, Cheryl-Lyn Potgieter lived in the bushes, on her own, for 3 months, putting out food and water each day. Cheryl-Lyn eventually won the dog's trust and was able to rescue, medically treat and rehabilitate her.

That scared, neglected and abused dog was renamed Daisy and now spends her days helping Cheryl-Lyn, taking care of the rescued newcomers until they are strong enough to be re homed.
