The Dark Days of Winter December 27, 2008
Posted by Jonathan Mitchell in : Stories , add a commentIt is always heart warming to witness the outstanding kindness and generosity of strangers. With Christmas comes a time of year which can often bring out the best in people and one such kind soul is Rosemary Brady.
Having only visited the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary for the first time in November, Rosemary took it upon herself to sell raffle tickets and organise her own ballot to support the residents in our care. Every prize was collected by her and hundreds of tickets sold.
By the time of the draw Rosemary had raised hundreds of pounds and made a lot of people very happy by letting them know of their win! We would like to extend our gratitude to Rosemary Brady for everything she has achieved. Her selfless contribution will benefit the neediest during the dark days of winter.

A Love of Water December 27, 2008
Posted by Jonathan Mitchell in : Stories , add a commentDear All,
Attached are a few pictures of Ripley, now aged 9 and a half months. We adopted her as a two month old puppy, then named Missy, back in April and have been loving her ever since!
It turns out she loves walking, adores the water and likes nothing more than a good play with other dogs. She's sweet, friendly, bright and mischievous!
The whole family have been blessed by her. She now acts as a big sister to a relative's puppy (you can see him in one of the photographs) and the two are now firm friends.
God Bless you all this Christmas

Long term animal sponsorship appeal December 5, 2008
Posted by Jonathan Mitchell in : Latest News , add a commentStuck for Christmas gift ideas? Then why not give the gift of knowing that you’re keeping one of our long term animals safe and warm at MAAS? For the sum of £60 for one year or £30 for 6 months, you can have the piece of mind that you are keeping one of our long term animals safe and in the very best of care. Your kind donation will go towards food, veterinary treatment and the day-to-day costs of maintaining your chosen sponsor at the sanctuary.
When you sponsor an animal you will receive 2 items of MAAS merchandise, a regular newsletter, as well as a picture of your new ‘friend’. You will also receive one year's free membership
We hope you think of Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary this Christmas!
