We should all be very proud that we have such a wonderful local charity.

🥳Happy Anniversary to us!🥳
On the 18th of September 1889, the doors first opened to Mrs Murrays Home for Stray Dogs and Cats.
If we go back to the beginning there was nowhere for stray or abandoned or unwanted animals to go… they were left to scavenge on the streets finding shelter where ever they could.
Originally formed in the grounds of her Bridge of Don home at Inverdon House, our founder Mrs Susan Murray, and her friends raised money to build kennels on land just off King Street and was officially opened by Lord Provost Henderson on this date in 1889.
Who would have thought back in 1889 when Susan Murray saw a need for a place of shelter and refuge for the stray and unwanted dogs of Aberdeen and Shire and opened a shelter for them, that we would still be here 135yrs later.

For 135yrs Mrs Murray’s has served the North East, through recessions, 2 world wars and financial hardships. Our doors have always been open. Only during Covid did we have to shut the doors. But we kept busy delivering pet food parcels from our food bank to those in need and offering care for the pets of keyworkers who were working all hours.

We are a vital part of the local community giving them a central base and first point of contact should they have lost their pet or even find themselves in the distressing situation of having to give their pet up…. From lending an ear to those who have recently lost their pet who just need someone to talk to that can empathise with them. To giving advice on where people can turn to for help and offering a safe haven for those unfortunate to not have a home of their own…
Mrs Murray’s has grown and adapted to move with modern times embracing new social media platforms and engaging a wider community of pet lovers near and far.

💜135yrs. Nae bad far a wee local independent Aberdeen charity 💜

Mrs Murray's receives no government or lottery funding to support the work we do and we don’t have the safety net of a national charity to fall back on.
We rely on legacies, donations and YOU, the public of the North East to help support our work and the animals in our care.
Mrs Murray’s continues to grow and is committed to securing the future of all the animals that pass through our doors. From the humble beginnings of 1889 to the Centre it is today we hope our founder would indeed be very proud at what her small act of kindness has become.

Here's to the next 135years! 🤩
