Let's save Assisi! Let's put the lives of both animals and humans first! Dogs are family! 

I am absolutely outraged and extremely upset that Assisi, Bangor have had to close their dog shelter due to noise complaints. Assisi do invaluable work in our community, and have been doing so for decades. Dogs are incredible animals, helping human beings endlessly through their love and affection. Dogs are literally life savers, evidence has repeatedly shown that dogs are great for those struggling with mental ill health, chronic illness, recovering from surgery and sickness, and that is to name a few. Our dogs deserve better! Personally, I would be lost without my cocker spaniel Finn, he has prevented and eased panic attacks, and to put it bluntly, stopped me from ending my life a few years ago. Dogs are our companions, they are our therapists and they are our family! Let's save Assisi! Let's put the lives of animals and humans first! Please sign and share! 

Assisi have released the following statement:

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Assisi Animal Sanctuary have an urgent need for dog fosterers.

Sadly, after 25 years of serving our local community and providing refuge and rehoming to more than 50,000 animals, following a noise complaint, we are currently unable to take in any more dogs at the Sanctuary at Conlig.

While we are working with local authorities to try and resolve this as quickly as possible, and seeking to avail of alternative accommodation for our dogs, we urgently need your help.

To continue our mission of providing help for the helpless, we are appealing for people who can offer a dog a loving short-term home to contact us to enquire about becoming a dog fosterer.

Assisi can provide everything they will need during their stay – food, bedding, toys etc. We can also cover any medical and/or veterinary care that may arise.

Please SHARE and if you can help, please PM the page or email dogs@assisi-ni.org for more information.
