Plans for a state of a new state-of-the-art animal rescue centre in Co Down have been thrown into chaos after the Assisi sanctuary was forced to stop taking in dogs due to a noise complaint.
The team at the Conlig centre was due to go live with a pre-planning application for the current site imminently, with plans including an education centre, fostering unit and specialist care for reactive dogs.
But now staff and volunteers are busy trying to find foster homes for 12 dogs all waiting for forever homes, and they must work out how to keep six severely reactive dogs on site without them barking.
