Leicester Animal
Aid (LAA) was founded in 1956 by the late Dorothea Farndon. From that small
start, LAA now occupies a 4½ acre site in the Leicestershire countryside,
at Huncote, and currently can accommodate up to 75 dogs and 30 cats.
Over the years LAA has provided
food, shelter, and new homes for countless dogs and cats. Apart from the
animals which have been abandoned, the most common reasons for pets needing
care are broken homes, accommodation problems and the death of their owner.
Whatever the reason, LAA is committed to providing the animals with the care
and sanctuary they need, and for as long as they need it. LAA operates a
non-euthanasia policy and animals are only put to sleep on veterinary
advice.
Most people recognise the need for
Animal Rescue Centres to be efficiently run with caring policies. The work of
LAA is based on three prime objectives:
- to provide sanctuary and a
second start to unwanted and homeless pets
|
- to reunite lost pets with their
owners through its Petfinder Service in conjunction with BBC Radio
Leicester
|
- to help owners keep their pets
by providing temporary accommodation - when space permits
