Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home has appointed Ameila Morgan as its new CEO.

Amelia has over 20 years of leadership experience in the charity and public sectors. She’s passionate about animal welfare and believes every dog and cat deserves to be loved, safe and happy.

She joins the charity at a time when demand for its services is higher than ever. Already this year, the home has received around 40 calls a day from owners needing help, taken in more than 300 animals, and provided over half a million pet meals.

“With Amelia leading the way, we’re ready to do all we can for the animals and their families who need us most,” said the charity.
