The Animal Rescue Organisation (ARO)
We are a registered NGO (003-967-NPO),
established in 1986 to relieve the suffering
of animals living within indigent communities

We provide a welfare veterinary hospital service concentrating on a number of important
areas of work including sterilisation and primary health care.

WHO IS THE ANIMAL RESCUE ORGANISATION?
ARO is not a pet shelter, but is a welfare veterinary hospital service
concentrating on a number of important areas of work including
sterilisation and primary health care.
ARO sends out mobile clinics, run by registered and experienced AWA’s (Animal Welfare Assistants) into extremely poor and indigent communities including informal settlements including, but not limited to, Guguletu, Nyanga, Delft, Browns Farm and similar areas within the wider Cape Metropole.
In addition, ARO runs a fully equipped welfare hospital at 5 Olieboom Road, Ottery providing a welfare service to members of the public earning less than R15 000 gross monthly household income.

Ban Circus Animals in South Africa
here is one animal circus left in SA which is causing grave concerns regarding the welfare of the animals forced to live a life of travel and performing ~ wild animals which should be free.
ARO joins countless thousands of others in protesting the practise of forcing wild animals to perform silly tricks for human entertainment. ARO currently has nearly 10 000 original signatures from people in SA who wish to see this barbaric practise banned. Add you name.
