URGENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED! April 23, 2008
Posted by Jonny Mitchell in : Rehoming , add a comment
Please meet Hector, a neutered male Staffordshire Terrier crossbreed. Born in (approximately) 2002, Hector was rescued from the dog pound in 2005 as he was due for ‘Humane Destruction’; he has remained here ever since.
Although strong, he has a beautiful, gentle nature. Hector is quite a character, and adores the attention of both adults and older children — younger children may be too much for him, as he is a laid back gentleman who thrives on having his tummy rubbed, a procedure he could undergo all day.
His love of the outdoors, long walks and human company leave him ill-suited to life in a kennel. Ideally, Hector would flourish in an environment where his owner could spend a generous amount of time with him. Although he savours his outdoor exercise and playful antics, he would welcome the opportunity fall asleep on the sofa beside a best friend. As he approaches his autumn years he would make a perfect companion for someone in a similar age range, who loves a good walk of an afternoon with the emphasis on relaxing in the evening.
The Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary is in need of finding a ‘Foster Home’ for Hector. This would entail Hector becoming part of your household, a family member who lives with you full time; the only difference being the Sanctuary will cover any veterinary costs. In the event of Hector needing any dental treatment or temporary boarding the Sanctuary will make the arrangements for him, all we ask of you is to open up your home and heart to him.
Give us a call if you are interested.
Sponsored Dog Walk Update March 31, 2008
Posted by Jonny Mitchell in : Latest News , add a comment
On Saturday the 29th of March 2008 the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary held a sponsored dog walk in memory of Nigel, Tiny and Will — the three dogs which were deemed to be of a dangerous breed, and subsequently condemned to death on Valentine’s Day this year.
Although the heavens opened and the day looked set to be a wash-out we were more than impressed by the turnout of over 40 volunteer walkers and members of the public. All the dogs on the premises enjoyed their walk, but seemed to prefer Ernie Adams (pictured) giving them a good rub down with a towel afterwards!
We would like to thank everyone involved so much as the hard work they achieved through sponsorship raised almost £1300.00, an EXCELLENT RESULT! Although the day itself came about through such sad circumstances, we hope that everyone can look back and remember the dogs fondly, and work towards providing a better future for the residents still in our care.
A note of thanks… March 19, 2008

…to the Dove Theatre Company, who raised £750 for the Sanctuary by performing Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in pantomime. Thanks also to the staff in Glenburn Crumlin for having the idea and everyone who took part!!!!
