𝗨𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹 - 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲

As many of you have seen on our main page, we recently shared some very difficult news about our Animal Centre. We are overwhelmed with the support we have received so far, and we want to thank you all for your kind messages, your generous donations, and for sharing our post to spread the word.

We have now launched our appeal, to help raise the funds we need to keep our doors open and to continue helping many animals in need in our local area. For many years, we’ve been a lifeline for dogs and cats who have suffered unimaginable abuse and neglect, providing them with veterinary treatment, dedicated care, rehabilitation, and loving new homes. But now, we are the ones in need of rescue.

Our financial situation is now critical, and without immediate support, we could be forced to close our doors, leaving countless abused and neglected animals without the care they desperately need. This is the biggest appeal we have ever done, and we are asking everyone, our loyal supporters, animal lovers, and the wider community, to come together and help us through this financial crisis.

We would be incredibly grateful for any donations towards our JustGiving appeal here: justgiving.com/campaign/save-our-animal-centre. No donation is ever too small, and every pound raised will go towards saving our Animal Centre. If you would like to set up a regular monthly donation, you can do so via our website, where you will also find information about fundraising for us: https://www.rspcaleedsandwakefield.org.uk/save-our-centre/

If you are not in a position to donate at this time, we would be very grateful if you could share this appeal with your friends, family, and colleagues using to help us spread the word.

Together, we can save our centre and continue giving animals the second chance they deserve. Thank you for your support 💙

🐾Today is World Animal Enrichment Day!🐾

🐶 Enrichment has so many benefits to the well-being of animals, by providing mental stimulation, reducing stress, and encouraging physical activity and natural behaviours like sniffing and licking! Enrichment is also fun, and helps improve animals' brain function and problem-solving skills.

🐕 For animals like our rescues, enrichment is especially important. In a kennel environment, enrichment games and puzzles reduce boredom, build confidence, and help animals feel calm and relaxed.

🐾 There are lots of different types of enrichment games and activities available to buy or make for our pets, as demonstrated here by Ajay and our now-adopted dogs Zeus, Tala, and Goose! As well as puzzles, Kongs, treat dispensing balls, and lick mats, you can also make simple games from lots of items around your home. You could hide treats in boxes, in a knotted towel, or even in the cardboard tubes from the middle of toilet rolls!

Does your pet love enrichment? Let us know in the comments below!
