Langa Happy Tails began when a young boy named Emihle shared his food with a starving pregnant dog, inspiring an animal rescue movement in Langa. With the help of filmmaker Katja Morbitz and other volunteers, the NGO now provides food, shelter, and medical care for stray dogs in the community. Despite financial challenges, the initiative continues to grow. An animal rescue movement has taken root in Langa, driven by the compassion of a young boy, Emihle, who shared his supper with a starving pregnant dog. This single act of kindness has evolved into Langa Happy Tails, a non governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to rescuing and caring for stray dogs in the community.

“I couldn’t believe how thin she was.” The dog, named Hope, was found abandoned in a dilapidated shack. She was malnourished and suffering from a severe case of mange. Hope’s story resonated with Katja, who felt compelled to help.

The organization, founded by a young woman named Sarah, is a testament to the love and compassion for animals. It is a non-profit organization that operates on donations and volunteers. It is a beacon of hope for stray dogs in a community that often neglects their welfare. Langa Happy Tails is a testament to the love and compassion for animals.

Morbitz is also advocating for sterilisation to curb the stray dog population. Volunteers, donations and foster homes are always welcome to expand the reach of Langa Happy Tails.
