Years ago, Anschi Wilsnagh changed the life of a dear dog named Oscar, who once led a life with no sunlight and only had a stone to play with. Now, Anschi’s on a mighty mission to better the lives of all the animals she can’t take home with her and is climbing Kilimanjaro to make it happen.
Mount Kilimanjaro (17 September 2024) — Years ago, Oscar the dog’s life couldn’t have been more different to what it is today. And if it wasn’t for the humans who stepped up for him—Rescued Animal Drive (RAD) and his forever home found in Anschi Wilsnagh—he may never have found his happy ending.
But Oscar’s life did change from the terrible conditions he once faced, like being chained, experiencing no sunlight, and only having a stone to keep him company to the point where he lost all his teeth.
Anschi welcomed him into her home and now he lives happily with his family that includes other animals like Bruce the rabbit. Even though Anschi can’t take all the animals in need in Grabouw home, she’s determined to make a difference where she can.
As such, she’s on a mighty mission for animal welfare and is climbing to the greatest heights to do it.
Anschi is climbing Kilimanjaro in a very practical manifestation of just how far she’s willing to go for animals need. She has already begun her mission; meaning all the funds she raises are heading straight to RAD.
“Every step we take together is a step towards a better world for animals who deserve a chance at a happy and healthy life,” says Anschi in response to why she decided on this ambitious stretch.
RAD, a non-profit serving animals in the Overberg area, have shared great admiration and excitement for Anschi’s climb.
“She obviously has no reception but she has an Apple tag on her so we can see where she is! What an amazing endeavour and we are honoured and grateful that she chose to raise funds for RAD.”
“All donations will go toward our sterilisations for September,” the RAD team add.
Anschi has already raised over R30,000 for the cause, and anyone moved to help her move this mountain can support her mission here.
