The TEARS Sleepathon is an annual event to raise funds for the invaluable work that this animal welfare organisation is involved in. People get to spend the night with one of the dear dogs in their enclosures, and in so doing raise funds for TEARS. TEARS animal rescue does incredible work in rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming companion animals and provides a sanctuary for them. They strive to end homelessness, neglect and abuse in the communities they serve through medical assistance, humane education, rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming. Based in Sunnydale, Cape Town they see to animals in need across the Western Cape’s South Peninsula.
