Leicester and Leicestershire Animal Aid Association was Founded in 1956 by the late Dorothea Farndon. Over the years the charity has rescued and found new homes for many thousands of dogs and latterly a significant number of cats too. From a small start it now occupies a 4 ½ acre freehold site in the Leicestershire countryside, at Huncote.

The key objectives of the charity are to provide a second start for unwanted and homeless dogs and cats. To reunite lost pets with their owners through its Petfinder Service, and to promote responsible pet ownership by educating the public in pet care.

Leicester and Leicestershire Animal Aid’s vision is happy pets in responsible, loving homes.

It is always with a huge thanks to generosity from the local community, businesses, schools, LAA members and supporters, that the centre remains open and continues to provide an invaluable service to the many animals it rescues, shelters and re-homes.

Leicester and Leicestershire Animal Aid re-home over 450 cats and dogs each year. All animals are microchipped, vaccinated and wormed which can cost an average of £125 per month.

The centre receives no government funding; it is an independent charity and is solely reliant on kind donations of money through many sources including sponsorship opportunities like this one.
