Important Announcement - Please Read!

We regret to announce that dog walks will no longer be possible during the week. The chronic lack of volunteers means that the few who run the sanctuary simply cannot cope with visitors as well as the everyday tasks that need to be done. This applies especially to holidays - the volunteers at the sanctuary don`t enjoy that privelege! If you plan to visit to take a dog for a walk, please call before to confirm - even during the weekends, there are times when just a couple of volunteers have to do the work of 4!

The Island Sanctuary has been in operation for over 20 years, catering for the needs of stray and abandoned dogs in Malta, and is listed as a Charity Organisation - the organisation originated in 1986 on Manoel Island. With the granting of an official lease to use Fort Tas-Silg, Delimara on 31st August 1991, the Animal Samaritans ( as previously known), re-located to a more suitable and beneficial environment and changed its name to "The Island Sanctuary Association."
