Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels Donates R50,000 to Sterilise 100 Dogs and Support Rural Veterinary Care

Every animal deserves a life free from suffering—this belief drives WanderVet, a registered non-profit organisation dedicated to assisting struggling communities in caring for their beloved pets. Seeing the incredible work that WanderVet has done, specifically in rural communities, Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels has pledged R50,000 to help WanderVet sterilise 100 animals in impoverished and rural areas.

Founded by Dr. Annarie Grelying, WanderVet provides free veterinary services, focusing on sterilisation, vaccinations, and education to help improve the lives of both pets and working animals. “Most people do better when they know better,” says Dr. Grelying. “However, many people simply cannot afford the best care for their pets as they struggle to put food on the table. That’s why we exist—to bridge that gap and ensure that animals in these communities receive the care they need.”

Sterilisation plays a crucial role in controlling stray populations, preventing disease, and improving overall animal welfare. However, despite WanderVet’s doctors and healthcare professionals working entirely for free, each sterilisation costs around R500 per animal, making funding essential for their mission.

Recognising the incredible work of WanderVet, Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels stepped in to make a difference, helping fund 100 sterilisations and supporting the organisation’s life-changing efforts.

“There are things in life you cannot do too much of, and for me personally, one of them is helping animals and educating people on how to treat them,” says Jacaranda FM’s breakfast host Martin Bester. “When people give up their time and expertise to help animals, it’s something I think we should all support.”

With the support of Good Morning Angels, WanderVet can now continue their mission of providing free veterinary services, ensuring that more animals receive the care they deserve.
