Leicester Animal Aid has some events coming up over the next few months. Although the Leicestershire-based charity’s top priority is caring for cats and dogs and helping to rehome them, they also run a children’s activity club, host dog shows and have stalls at local events, and have cat and dog first aid courses at their Centre in Huncote. There’s plenty going on, so make sure to update your diaries with these dates!
Saturday, 29th July | Cat and Dog First Aid Courses, L.A.A., Huncote, LE9 3LE
If you have a cat or a dog, would you know what to do in the event of an accident? These First Aid Courses at Leicester Animal Aid will teach you just that, with up-to-date techniques taught by a veterinary professional. Attendees will also receive a certificate.
Normally £40 each, the First Aid Courses on 29th July are free and aimed at those on low-income or who are unemployed. You can book online via their website under the events section: https://www.leicesteranimalaid.org.uk/event/calendar
Tuesday, 30th May, Friday, 21st July and Wednesday, 2nd August | K9 Kids, L.A.A., Huncote, LE9 3LE
Do you have or know of any children who are wary of dogs? K9 Kids is the perfect environment for children to gain confidence around dogs; Blaize, the gentle Golden Retriever, attends these free sessions to help children learn to meet dogs in a safe and controlled environment.
