Assisi receives no Government funding and relies solely on kind donations from the public and also legacies left to us. We are grateful for every penny we receive and it all goes directly towards the care of the animals here at the Sanctuary.
Our donations from this page are handled via PayPal, but you do not need to have a PayPal account to donate. You can also choose to donate using debit or credit card.
If you would prefer, we can also take donations in person at the Sanctuary.
Hi I visited your centre for the first time yesterday -very impressive. I noticed a poster asking for help for a dog that requires an operation so I am forwarding £20 towards it through paypal. (Sorry its not more). Best Wishes
Marie
Marie. Thank you very much for your donation to Sasha’s operations. She had her first operation two weeks ago and is currently recuperating with one of our foster carers. She is getting on well and will get her staples out tomorrow and then in three/four weeks time a decision will be made on whether she will require a second operation. She is a beautiful looking dog but also has a beautiful nature. Once again thank you for your support.
Hi,
Myself and my fiance are both in the fortunate position to be able to support a select number of charities with modest donations from our monthly salaries. We are both great admirers of your work and, whilst our lives are currently not compatible with the commitment required to keep a dog, we hope that someday soon we will be in a position to welcome one of your dogs into our family. Until then we would like to support your work with a small monthly donation towards whatever costs you see fit. I cannot see an option on your website to set up a regular donation so would it be possible for you to contact me for the purpose of setting this up?
Many thanks
Neil Armour
Neil. I have sent you an email with a sponsorship form attached to it. Thank you for supporting Assisi.
Hi
Can you let me know how I purchase the Justice for Cody bags.
Thanks

Sara. Unfortunately the Justice for Cody bags sold out at the Rally at Stormont on Saturday. We still have some of the Justice for Cody wristbands.
How can i buy a justice for Cody wrist band??
Steph. You can buy them from our Reception at the Sanctuary in Conlig or at our Charity Shop in Ballynahinch. They are £1 each.
Hi Elaine and team, the donation I have just sent through paypal is from Marie Simpson Downie. Thank you Marie for your help.

Hi, I made a small donation to your sanctuary.
I hope people adopt more black cats, I know they are hard to rehome. I have a black cat, Jet. She has been with me for 8 years and is adorable. I would love to adopt a cat but Jet is so jealous and hasnt had much interaction with other cats so it wouldnt be a good idea.
Keep up the good work guys.
Andy. Thank you for donating to Assisi – it is very much appreciated. We have some lovely black cats and some of them don’t like other cats so I know what you mean.
My husband and I left Jessica the abandoned bunny with you yesterday and meant to leave a donation but forgot as we were upset leaving her. We have donated through your site today and wanted to thank you so much for taking care of her, we saw her on your site and she looked gorgeous. Hopefully someone will adopt her soon. Best wishes, Fiona
Fiona. Jessica is lovely. I met her today. Thank you for looking after her and for your donation.
Hi, I support dogs trust at the minute with a wee £3 a month donation I know it’s not gonna set the world alight but if I had more I would give it all , I was just wondering is there an option to set up a direct debit with yourselves like this also ? I would like to help the wee animals if I can ? Phil
Phil. We would love to have monthly support from yourself. Every penny is put to good use and will be very much appreciated. We don’t have a direct debit facility but you can set up a standing order for £3 a month for general support or you can sponsor one of our long term residents. I will ask our admin team to send you a standing order form. If you would like to look at the sponsorship section of our website you can choose an animal to support. You will find the sponsorship section if you look at our home page.
I recently attended the funeral of Mrs Helen Page who was 93yrs old. As an alternative to sending flowers, she asked that we donated money to Assisi. Helen was a HUGE animal lover and resued a fair few animals in her lifetime. I think this is a very fitting tribute to her and a fantastic cause. I hope the £100 helps many animals who are less fortunate than our own. Thank you Assisi for all the great work you do – I’ve read lots of heart warming stories on your website.
Justin. That is very generous of you and a lovely thing to do to remember Mrs Page. We are very grateful to you and the money will be used to help all our animals.
I want to donate towards Assisi through Paypal £5 for two car stickers for Justice for Cody?
Do I just donate and email you with my address

Caoimhe. That’s a lovely gesture from your Mum and one very much appreciated by us. Thank you very much. Happy Birthday to Mum.
Hi Assisi,
I’d like to setup a direct debit. Can I do that online?
Thank you

Dave. Unfortunately we don’t have direct debit facilities but we can set up a standing order. If you email – dawn@assisi-ni.org she will be able to help you.
Hi Assisi,
2 years ago we adopted a beautiful cat called “Gabbana” from your sanctuary and very much appreciated the support and advice you gave us.
She is still very much well and having a splendid time with us at home. We would like to give something back and wish to setup an automatic payment to you each week with out payslip. If this is possible, how do we go about it? I’ve left my email in the field and would appreciate if you could get back to me either here or via email.
Thank you.
Morten & Vanessa.
Morten. I have passed your request and email address to our Admin Manager and she will forward you the necessary details to set payroll giving up. Thank you for your support.

Hi Assisi. During Christmas time I sold artwork and crafts in aid of charity in memory of my Grandmother who regularly visited your shelter. She was an animal lover and regularly donated hand-made blankets to shelters across Northern Ireland. We’ll miss her greatly, but I hope to follow in the footsteps of her generosity with this donation. All the best to the workers and volunteers doing wonderful work at Assisi!
Jordan. Thank you very much for donating to Assisi in memory of your grandmother. She would be very proud of you for your initiative and generosity.
Digga, now renamed Digby would like to say thanks for looking after him and we’ve made a donation. He’s now tucked up in his new bed fast asleep.
Heidi. Great to hear that Digby is getting on well and settling in. Thank you for giving him a loving home and for making a donation. Thank you.
My friend Kate and I made and sold loom band creations and we chose to donate the money raised to you.We hope this money makes a difference.
Hannah. That’s very kind of you. Thank you very much. Do you have access to facebook. Assisi has a facebook page – why not publish what you did on our page. It’s lovely to hear the stories behind a donation. Thank you for supporting Assisi.
For all your great work
Lynne. Thank you very much. Your support is very much appreciated.

We kindly make our donation of £155 in fond memory of Holly MacLennon Beattie who brought cheer, quirkiness and happiness to daily life at the Consumer Council for Northern Ireland. She probably liked animals more than people which is why we all know she would appreciate this gesture. We all send caring thoughts to her family and loved ones. Now you may fly forever our dear friend.
Alan. That is such a lovely gesture and I am sure Holly would be delighted with what you have done in her memory. We at Assisi appreciate your support and if there is anything you need from us, please let us know.

Hi. I am heartbroken at this time of year when I see all the sad stories of pets being abandoned and all the puppy farms. I have two adorable springers and spoil them rotten. I think that’s the only way it should be! So I am sending a donation to help with your great work. I only wish I could rescue all the dogs and give them a better life!
Lee-Ann
