Want a pet? Consider adopting says Leicester Animal Aid

Available for over a year

Our animal friends can be a crucial part of our lives, playing a role in companionship, mental wellbeing and happiness.

Keely Short who is the general manager, spoke to 91¸£ÀûÉç Leicester’s Mark Colerangle. She brought along one of their loveable (big) dogs called ‘Camel’!
