You might remember that we were hoping to find Ralph the Husky a home by Christmas, and even roped in Santa to help with some Christmas Magic – well it worked! Ralph went home in time for Christmas and is settling in well to his new home. Any animals that didn’t find their homes yet will have received a gift thanks to the generosity of everyone who helped with our Christmas Appeal, and we are hopeful of finding them all responsible and loving homes this new year.

We are busy planning the year ahead here at LAA, and we thought we would let you know about our on-site charity shops. Perhaps you are thinking of having a clear-out at home and are looking for somewhere to donate items? Please consider us if you have items that you no longer need but that could be sold to help raise much-needed-funds for our animals. We accept good quality clothing, homewares and children’s toys. You can find the full list of items on our website. You may even like to pop in and have a look round. Our shops are open from 10am-2pm Tuesday through to Saturday. We also have a pop-up coffee shop and sale, where there are some great bargains to be had; this takes place on the first Saturday of each month.

If you are thinking of adopting an animal you can find all the relevant information, including the profiles of our current cats and dogs on our website, and we are open for people to look round the Centre on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10am to 1pm for the Kennels, and 11am to 2pm for the Cattery.

Leicester Animal Aid is a rehoming centre for dogs and cats. Every year, we care for more than 300 dogs and cats who are lost, abandoned, neglected, unwanted or relinquished because their owners can no longer look after them.

We rely on the generosity of people like you to keep our doors open to the hundreds of animals who need our help.
