Blanket Appeal December 22, 2010
Posted by Jonathan Mitchell in : Appeals , 6 commentsAs you can imagine, the animals at the Sanctuary are feeling the cold just as much as we are. As such, if you have any old blankets or duvets to spare, could you drop them in to us, to make warm beds for the dogs and cats.
Thanks in advance!
Urgent Appeal for Tinned Dog Food July 5, 2010
Posted by Jonathan Mitchell in : Appeals , add a commentAlthough the dogs in our care are fed on the best dried food (care of ) we rely heavily on donations of tinned food. This we mix in with the dry feed in small amounts to add to the appetising smell and texture.
Currently we have found the donations of food dwindling and we appeal for anyone who has spare, or is in a position to donate, to drop tins off at the Sanctuary premises.
On behalf of the Sanctuary residents: Thank you very much!
Credit Crunch April 22, 2010
Posted by Jonathan Mitchell in : Appeals , add a commentAs you are no doubt aware, the current financial climate has left everyone tightening their belts, leaving Sanctuaries such as Mid-Antrim in an even more precarious position. Family pets, along with their veterinary treatment and upkeep, are no longer a priority in most households; the impact of which has hit charity organisations in the worst possible way. The influx of unwanted ‘presents’ and general apathy towards long-time family pets has put us in a uncertain state financially.
We are finding, at this present time, that a lot of people can no longer afford to feed and keep their pets – never mind pay a veterinary bill which was likely to exceed their upkeep alone.
In the situation whereby an owner cannot afford treatment for their pet there are organisations to help. With Pounds and Sanctuaries reaching their limits with regards to space as well as finance, we ask that if you have a talent or trade to offer, no matter how insignificant you feel it is, we could certainly use your input. Giving up your time can be of the utmost importance during a period when disposable income and donations are on the wane.
There’s nothing more fulfilling than the act of giving.
