Speaking exclusively to The Times on Friday, Maggie said that they are now ‘actively looking for a new home’.
“We have been forced to close the rehoming side of the charity, due to a situation that is beyond our control.
“This action, even if it is only for a short time, will have a big impact on dogs here locally.

“I must stress that the dogs we currently have in our care are safe - they are being sent to England this weekend with the Dogs Trust charity.”
Maggie has called on the public to continue to support Causeway Coast Dog Rescue.
A post on their facebook page said: “We regret to inform our followers that as of today and for the immediate future, we can no longer take in dogs due to ongoing construction issues with our sanctuary.
