Mrs Muray’s is a beloved institution in Aberdeen, having been founded in 1889 by Susan Murray as a place of refuge and shelter for stray and abandoned dogs and cats. Fast forward to today and it cares for hundreds of animals each year. The organisation is now calling on businesses to step forward as part of a major campaign, which will ultimately enable Mrs Murray’s to continue in its incredible work for years to come.
Work is already well underway for Mrs Murray’s Big Build – with plans to create 21 modern kennels and a much-needed maternity unit. Demolition work has commenced and Chap has been appointed as the main contractor for this exciting development. In the meantime, the charity is calling on businesses to get behind the campaign via corporate sponsorship. Chairman Alan Grant said: ‘We would love to hear from businesses of every size which might be able to support us. There are a number of ways to get involved and, if anyone would like to come along, see what we are doing and talk about how they could become part of the Big Build, our door is very much open. Aberdeen has changed enormously since Mrs Susan Murray first opened the Home, but the reason we are here has not. There will always be animals that need somewhere safe to go and people who need our help. This is our chance to make sure the facilities are there for them. We hope businesses across the North-east will join us and help build the next chapter of Mrs Murray’s.” To find out more, go to mrsmurrays.co.uk
