About

The Mdzananda Animal Clinic is a registered non-profit and public benefit organization. It is a permanent, veterinary council-registered animal hospital and shelter based in the heart of Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa.


Mdzananda is the only accessible veterinary care facility and shelter to a community of approximately 1 million people and 300 000 companion animals. Mdzananda is solely responsible for providing pet care to this vast community. Private veterinary clinics are too expensive for community pet owners. The reality is that, without our services, many injured and ill pets will live lives of pain or even die. Our clinic is responsible for all sterilisations in the community and, without this service, the pet population would continue to skyrocket, leaving many pets without suitable homes. It is also the only shelter for homeless pets in the community. Without our shelter many animals will live on the streets exposing them to neglect or even cruelty.

"We always look forward to this event, it's simply wonderful for pets and parents alike thank you to everyone from organizers to sponsors to participants - just lovely! I'd like to request just 2 things if possible for our next events coming up - 1. Shaded watering holes along the route (Umbrellas would suffice (weather dependent wind wise) and a Shaded area at the end of the event for the pups to cool off under. They generate alot of exctiement, but also alot of heat during the walk and afterwards are quite fussed and bothered so a bit edgy as well - the heat doesn't help this, so fights can break out. Perhaps you could secure a tenting sponsorship for an hour or 2 after the event at the finish line/garden please, so that we can settle our fur kids before lifts arrive or before having to just pack them up in our vehicles and leave again. I appreciate this platform for us to provide feedback thank you team. Thanking you for all your wonderful efforts and see you next year!"

"The venue was lovely, the Mdzananda adopt a dog for a day was a great idea! Even though I am more of a cat person, I spent some time with Chelsea who even sat on my lap! I can see how well those dogs are cared for, which warms my heart. The helpers handled them so lovingly. The event was well organized and the food was fantastic. I will definitely join again next year and will tell all my friends to also join. Well done!"

"It was absolutely lovely. I would recommend starting a little later, I would suggest 9:00 as most people come from all over and we ran a bit late and the walk had already started. We caught up with some of the walkers but I think it would be good to start at 9:00. "
