About All-In-One Animal Rescue

One woman, one township, a thousand second chances.

Founded in 2018 by Mary Kwembu, All-in-One Animal Rescue was born from focus, passion and an unshakeable drive to turn an animal rescue vision into a living reality.

It started in the northern Johannesburg township of Diepsloot, where Mary would drive through the dust, meet the community, feed dogs, and teach people how to care for their animals. She quickly became known as the voice of the voiceless.

Mary believes every dog deserves a loving, stable home with food and shelter. So she takes in the homeless, abused, neglected, stray, injured, ill, geriatric and unwanted — animals that would otherwise face miserable lives and premature deaths.

Today the shelter grows by the day, carried by loyal supporters who share Mary's vision of a world where humans treat animals with care, love, respect, empathy and understanding.

All-in-One survives solely on donations. Regular sponsors — individuals and corporates — are urgently needed to keep the shelter alive and the rescues coming.
