The founder of an animal sanctuary in Adams County says because of a cellphone company cutting her phone line and that leading to her landline phone not working, she’s down thousands of dollars. With winter coming, she’s now worried about how she’s going to keep nearly 200 animals fed.
Maxine Mager is the owner and founder of Creative Acres, a nonprofit organization which provides no-kill and free-roam sheltering to animals like horses, pigs, and chickens among many others. She says because of the phone issue, she could not get the word out about her fundraising efforts.
“They cut my line and apparently they cut it five times. I haven’t had a phone for over a month,” said Mager. “During that time, we couldn’t do any fundraising through the phone, and we also couldn’t get calls in.”
