Could Captain join your team?

Whilst the England squad are getting ready for their match tonight, Captain is very much hoping that he'll soon be off the bench and be selected to join a team of his own. 🥰 ⚽

This five-year-old Lurcher will keep you on your toes and your eye on the ball, he's a bit of a thief! He will put you through your paces and make sure you keep fit and active. Captain does love his chill time too, and when he's on the sofa he can snooze for hours! 😴

To find out more about this super star, head to his profile on our website https://www.leicesteranimalaid.org.uk/adopting-a-dog/dogs-for-adoption/2973/captain. 🐾🐶

Just to reassure you that our dogs are keeping nice and cool and the photos were taken before the heatwave.

Our cupboards are overflowing thanks to your kindness. 🥰

Thanks to you, our cats, like Biscuit, and dogs always have lots of bedding including sheets, covers, towels and blankets. Due to your generosity, we have enough to keep us going for a while and for the time being we can't accept any more donations of bedding, we'll let you know when this changes. 🐱🐶🐾

We still would love donations of toys and food for our animals. You can drop donations for our cats and dogs off at our Reception any day apart from Sundays from 10am to 2pm or you can shop from our Amazon wishlist Amazon wishlist https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/13DJRNZUZ8T82?&tag=saslaa-21 and get the items delivered directly to us. 🐶🐱 Thank you.

A little appeal from Sylvie 🐶🐾

As you can imagine with so many dogs, there are lots of different dietary needs. We are running really low on sensitive food and Sylvie and the other dogs currently on this would be so grateful for any donations from our kind supporters.

We would love donations of Burns Sensitive Pork & Potato dry food, Burgess Sensitive Salmon dry food, Burgess Sensitive Turkey dry food and AVA sensitive dry food (white fish.)

You can drop donations off to the Centre everyday apart from Sundays between 10am and 2pm or shop from our Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/13DJRNZUZ8T82?&tag=saslaa-21

Sylvie also wants us to mention that she's still waiting to be adopted so if you're looking for a loving, cuddly Greyhound, she's your girl! 🐶

Exciting news! Biggie has found his forever home! 🐶🥰

We're so happy to share the amazing news, that after six months with us, our big cuddly German Shepherd, Biggie has finally found a lovely new home. 🥰

If you've been following us for a while, you'll know he has been a regular on our social media, and we want to thank everyone for liking and sharing his posts!

After almost a week at home, we hear he is settling in well and has been busy exploring the garden, enjoying lots of cuddles, and soaking up all the love from his new family.

We’re so incredibly happy for you, Biggie — this is the happy ending you truly deserve! 🥰
