Welcome to Assisi Animal Sanctuary
Founded in 1997, Assisi Animal Sanctuary is a local independent animal welfare charity in Northern Ireland, providing shelter for up to 700 companion animals in our Sanctuary each year.
Surrender a pet
One of the hardest decisions that anyone will make is to give up their loved pet.
If you need us, we are here for you, and your pet. Please fill out the form and we will be in touch as soon as we can.
Amazon WishList
We always look forward to our Amazon deliveries! Many of our supporters like to help us by buying things from the list that they know our animals will like.

Adopt a Pet
Rescue is our favourite breed. Why not consider adopting an unwanted or rescue animal? At Assisi we have dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs all waiting for new, loving forever homes.
Sponsorship
For as little as 20p a day, you could provide multiple unwanted and homeless animals each year with warm shelter, food, medical care and the love and happiness they deserve until they find their forever home.
Volunteer
Can you spare 3-4 hours each week - by volunteering with us you will meet new people, gain new or use existing skills, gain experience and ultimately make a big difference to animal welfare.
Legacy
Leave a gift in your will. A gift left in your Will is a great way to ensure that your love of animals and interest in their well-being is continued into the future.
Outreach
Our Outreach Scheme came about because there was a clear recognition that there are individuals and families within our community who struggle to make ends meet and provide food for themselves, their families & pets.
