Ollie’s Best Christmas Ever December 23, 2009

Hi folks,
I felt I had to post these photos to let our supporters know why we are so grateful for your continued support.
11-month-old Ollie was brought to us from the dog warden on Tuesday the 8th. I had been told on the phone that he had been a victim of a dispute between neighbours, and had been attacked by someone who threw acid over him. That did not prepare me for what stood in front of me that morning when the dog warden removed Ollie’s coat (a coat he had bought himself, as he was so moved by Ollie’s injuries).
Not only was I surprised by the horrific injuries Ollie had suffered; somehow this poor wee dog still showed so much affection to humans. As I knelt down on one knee, he put his paws on my shoulder and licked my face. I am not afraid to admit to tears.
Happily, since then Ollie has found a new owner in a another good friend of the sanctuary who was visiting that day, and went home on the 11th. Without people like yourselves, the likes of Ollie would have nowhere to turn. Thanks to all of you, and a Happy Christmas from Ollie and friends.
The epitome of a charitable deed December 7, 2009

When Sandra Perry decided to run the marathon in order to raise money for a friend and costumer of Tom’s Bar & Grill the regulars rallied around. She was raising money to provide an electric wheelchair for Colin Graham who has Multiple Sclerosis and her outstanding achievement brought in ample funds; however, Colin was more than happy to accept a light-weight chair and so suggested benefitting a charity with the remainder. Sandra – a devoted animal lover – chose the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary and we are honoured to accept this most charitable of donations.
With the country facing financial cutbacks the Sanctuary is reaching crisis point. As the general public are tightening their belts we are witnessing a lot of faithful family pets being given up as an expense too far for many owners. Veterinary treatment and pet food are not a priority on many household lists; thus leaving Sanctuaries like Mid-Antrim full beyond capacity.
This generous donation from the staff and regulars of Tom’s Bar & Grill stands as the archetype of charitable deeds and we delighted to accept this contribution on behalf of all the residents in our care.
