Could you help these beautiful animals find a home?
Many Lincolnshire charities put their all into looking giving rescued animals a second chance at life but can only give them a temporary home.
Do you have it in your heart to give these long standing residents a permanent loving home?
Here are just a few of Lincolnshire’s pets in need of a forever home:
Humphrey, Ollie and Derek
(L – R) Humphrey, Ollie and Derek
Name(s): Humphrey, Ollie and Derek Age: Humphrey 14-years-old, Ollie 20-years-old, Derek 13-years-old. Gender: All male Hobby: Playing in the fields Location: Bransby Horses
All three donkeys have been living together in a home since 2013, but due to a change in circumstances they have been returned to Bransby Horses.
They enjoy a fuss and a groom. They all have their own personalities with Derek being a bit greedy, Humphrey loves people but is a little more reserved than the others and Ollie can easily mistake a finger for a carrot!
Derek has no medical issues. Humphrey has had a couple of foot abscess but have since discovered that letting his feet grow longer in-between farrier visits have helped with this.
Ollie suffers with flies in the summer, current fosterer are using Sudocrem and Neema oil fly ointment.
Name: Willy Age: 17-years-old Gender: Male Hobby: Playing with other ponies Location: Bransby Horses
Willy was signed over to Bransby Horses via the RSPCA as his owner was no longer able to meet his needs.
He is currently out in a home with two other ponies and three donkeys.
Willy loves being around other equines and will groom his companions if they allow it. He’s a little nervous but will always come and say hello and have a brush.
Name: Sinbad Age: Seven-years-old Gender: Male Hobby: Being brushed Location: Bransby Horses
Sinbad was born at Bransby Horses to a mare that was brought in as a welfare case.
He is currently sharing a field with two other ponies and three donkeys, but due to a change in current circumstances Sinbad is now looking for a new “Friend For Life”.
Sinbad is a very friendly boy, with a lot of energy to spare.
He loves a brush and a rub behind his ears. He is great to handle from the ground, although can be a bit strong so will need an experienced handler.

A new family-run restaurant and takeaway serving authentic Greek food has opened in Lincoln city centre, and The Lincolnite went to check it out.
Spyridon Tsichlis and his wife Marisofi Kiourtzidou came up with the idea for The Greek Brothers and opened their first restaurant and takeaway in Mansfield in February 2021.
After visiting Lincoln Spyridon said he loved the city and the “beautiful atmosphere” and an opportunity came up to purchase the lease of the building next to Wilko off the High Street on Waterside South, formerly occupied by JayDees and The Fish King.

Spyridon bought the lease with his father-in-law Dimitrios Kirtikos and, after a lot of work inside including renovating the kitchen, The Greek Brothers welcomed its first customers on Monday, May 9.
The Greek Brothers takeaway and restaurant is open seven days a week between 11am and 7pm, and Spryidon said he is hoping to extend these hours in the future. Customers can also order authentic Greek street food from the takeaway, including via Deliveroo.

The new takeaway and restaurant has created four new jobs, with an additional six to be hired in the future.

We are investigating a serious assault after a man has received multiple stab wounds.

We have arrested a 41-year-old man on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (GBH). He remains in police custody.
We would like to hear from anyone who may have captured CCTV, dashcam or Go-pro footage in the location at the time the incident was reported, or in the few hours before hand.
Detective Inspector Remy Simon said: “We are carrying out investigations in this area and you may see an increased police presence while we do that. We know this might be worrying, and we would like to reassure you that we believe this to be an isolated incident. There are a number of lines of enquiry we are following up on.
“The victim was found near a busy road and there is a good chance that our local community may have information or footage which could help our enquiries, so we would encourage people to check their dashcams, Go-Pros or CCTV as soon as possible and share anything which may help with us. We’d like to hear about, or view, anything you may have, no matter how small you think it is, as every piece of information could prove vital.”
