Happy Birthday to our dear Samson!! 🥰🎉♥️ SamsPawtyPacks

We first met Sammy and Blanche last year, and in such a short time they’ve become such an important part of all our lives. Sammy stole our hearts the very first moment we met him, and Blanche has truly become family❤️

Together they’ve done so much for our sanctuary — from supporting fundraising efforts, to generous donations, and always going the extra mile to spoil our rescues with tons of treats and toys. Their kindness has left a lasting mark on every life they’ve touched here.

Today we celebrate our handsome Mr Samson 🐶❤️ the gentle giant with the softest heart. The kind of soul that makes you want to crouch down and just cuddle him forever. Sweet, calm, and beautifully mannered — truly one of the best boys.

The apple of his mum’s eye… and he absolutely knows it 😉🐾

Wishing you the happiest birthday, Sammy. You are so loved and so appreciated. 🎂❤️

🐾 TLB'S JOURNEY 🐾

When TLB first came to us, her injuries were devastating. She had been knocked and left with a broken leg with very little flesh left covering the bone. The damage was so extensive that amputation was her only chance at a pain-free life.

Since then, she has faced challenge after challenge. Her stump became infected and had to be surgically reopened, and she was also treated for an underlying tick-borne disease. Through it all, TLB never gave up.

Today, she is thriving.

She is happy, strong, resilient, and full of energy and s***k. Watching her bounce around on three legs, enjoying life despite everything she has endured, is nothing short of incredible. ❤️

TLB's surgery alone cost R14 874.50, and our outstanding account with Silverglen Veterinary Clinic now stands at R29 493.00.

While we celebrate TLB's recovery, the reality is that veterinary care comes at a significant cost. We never want finances to determine whether an animal receives the lifesaving treatment they need, but we urgently need help settling our veterinary bills so that we can continue helping the next animal who arrives at our gates needing urgent care.

TLB is currently staying with us while her stitches continue to heal. Once she has had her final check-up, we hope to have her spayed before she returns home to her family who have been patiently waiting for her. We want to ensure she goes back healthy, healed, and ready to enjoy the life she deserves.

💜 Support our BackABuddy campaign https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/support-pro-life-dog-sanctuary

Every donation, no matter how small, helps. Every share helps. Every act of kindness gives animals like TLB a second chance.

From a dog who arrived with a shattered leg and almost no hope, to a happy, thriving girl ready to go home — TLB's story is proof that rescue works.

Please help us continue writing stories like hers🙏

A huge thank you to Nishara & Ruma for taking the time to visit our sanctuary and for spoiling our furbabies with cozy blankets and delicious treats! ❤️🐾

Meeting people who share the same passion for animals is always so special. It was wonderful spending time with such genuine, kind-hearted animal lovers who truly understand the joys, challenges, and commitment that come with caring for rescue animals.

Your generosity, support, and love mean the world to us and to the dogs who call Summerveld Hound Resort home. Thank you for making a difference in their lives and for reminding us that there are so many compassionate people out there rooting for rescue.

We loved meeting you both and look forward to seeing you again soon! 🐶💕

As Summerveld Hound Resort Dog Rescue Sanctuary approaches its 10-year milestone, I sat down with my sister for one of the most personal conversations we've ever shared publicly.

In this episode of Aligned With Vyaksha, we reflect on our journey before rescue, how our lives changed when animals became our purpose, and the realities of running a rescue sanctuary for nearly a decade.

This is not a polished success story. It's a raw, real and unfiltered conversation about the challenges, sacrifices, lessons and unexpected blessings that came with dedicating our lives to animal rescue.

We also discuss our upbringing, the values that shaped us, the support system that carried us through difficult times, and how our family's journey evolved alongside the sanctuary.

Whether you're involved in rescue, passionate about animals, or simply curious about the people behind Summerveld Hound Resort Dog Rescue Sanctuary, we hope this conversation gives you a deeper understanding of what this journey has meant to us.

Thank you for being part of our story and for supporting rescue.

Here, every wag tells a story of resilience, and every pair of eyes holds a quiet kind of hope. The love you’re met with isn’t cautious or hesitant — it’s wholehearted, forgiving, and beautifully unconditional. It has a way of softening you without asking for anything in return.
