The Rhino Pride Foundation was founded in 2015 by specialist wildlife veterinarian Dr. Jana Pretorius. It was established to create sustainable, protected areas where rhinos can live and breed and are free to roam wild. RPF also rescues baby rhinos orphaned due to poaching. These animals need very specific care and handling and often require specific medical treatment. Baby Rhino Rescue donates funds for milk for any orphaned rhino coming into the sanctuary.
Due to the tremendous increase in rhino poaching and the high cost of feeding rhinos, many private rhino owners have had to give up their rhinos. This is where RPF comes in – it provides a safe haven for these rhinos, thus becoming the largest sanctuary of privately owned rhinos in the world. The sanctuary provides a secure yet natural free-roaming habitat for endangered rhinos and utilizes tracking technology to stop poachers and prevent access to the reserve. Baby Rhino Rescue has been involved with the anti-poaching unit at RPF since its inception. BRR has also funded the purchase of milk, teff, and three anti-poaching dogs for the sanctuary.
Through symbolic adoption, you become part of the systematic plan to save the rhino. All donations go to Baby Rhino Rescue to be disbursed by the Board of Directors. Symbolic support for a specific rhino means the donor will receive updates about projects and rhinos. Neither the sanctuaries we support nor Baby Rhino Rescue can guarantee funds go to a specific rhino.
