🐶 A quick reminder for everyone using our Off Lead Area 🐾

🐕We want our Off Lead Area to be a safe, clean and enjoyable space for every dog and their owner, so we're asking everyone to please make sure you pick up after your dog during your visit.

Unfortunately, during two recent checks just a couple of days apart, our team found a lot of dog poo left around the field.

🐾We know that the vast majority of our users are very responsible and always pick up after their dogs, and we're really grateful for this! However, we'd really appreciate everyone's help in looking after the area and leaving it clean and ready for the next person and their dog to enjoy.

🗑️ We have recently installed new, larger bins with foot pedals, and spare poo bags are available around the fencing if you run out or forget to bring your own.

We've put lots of work into improving our Off Lead Area recently to make it an even better space for your dogs to enjoy, so please help us keep it that way by being responsible, respecting other users and always picking up after your dog. 🐾

Thank you for helping us look after our Off Lead Area! 💙

🏠This week, we have this lovely update to share about Max, who was adopted from our centre in July. He came into our care in November last year as a cruelty case, after being rescued from awful conditions. We're delighted that Max has now found the loving forever home that he so deserves. His new family have been in touch to let us know how he's getting on!

'Max is a completely amazing dog, he has settled in really well. He is a joy to walk, he's such an affectionate boy who loves a snuggle as much as a play with his squeaky toys! His cheeky side has come out the longer he has been with us (he likes to dig holes in the garden!) and he is just a gorgeous goofball! He has taken every new situation in his stride, he really is the perfect boy and we all completely love him dearly ❤️'

It's wonderful to see Max so happy and relaxed in his new home! After everything he's been through, we're so happy to see him enjoying the life he deserves. 💙

📧If you have adopted a pet from our branch and would like us to share an update, please send your photos and stories to [email protected].

🚨 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 🚨

💔 Earlier this week, these two kittens, approximately 8 months old, were found abandoned in a carrier in Middleton Park woods.

They were brought into our care by a member of the public, whose dogs discovered the carrier during their walk. Although the kittens were hungry, skinny and covered in fleas, thankfully they are otherwise healthy and have been very affectionate with our Animal Care Team. We have named them Otis and Cooper. 💙

We're appealing for any information that could help us learn more about their history. If you are their owner or know where they may have come from, please get in touch with our Animal Centre by emailing [email protected].

We want to reassure anyone who may have information that we're not here to judge. If these kittens do have an owner who is no longer able to care for them, that's okay. They are safe with us and we will care for them and find them loving new homes. We would simply really appreciate knowing more about their background so that we can give them the best possible care.

🐾 Otis and Cooper bring the total number of kittens we've taken into our care this kitten season to an incredible 𝟰𝟲. That's a lot of little mouths to feed!

Every kitten also needs to be neutered before they're ready to move on to their forever home. With so many kittens coming into our care, these costs quickly add up for our branch and, as a self-funded charity, we rely on your support to help us continue caring for them.

💙 If you would like to help us care for all these little ones, we'd be incredibly grateful for any donations towards their food and neutering costs. No matter how big or small, every donation helps us make sure they have everything they need while they're in our care.

🔗 You can make a donation via this link: https://rspcaleedswakefielddistrictbranch.beaconforms.com/form/96f266d2

Please share this post to help us reach anyone who may recognise Otis and Cooper or know something about their history. 🐾
