Tottenham Hotspur is the Club for animal-lovers and we use our platform to raise awareness of animal welfare and the importance of preserving nature.
For the 2025-26 season we are continuing to feature a 'Dog of the Match' at every home game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Members of Tottenham Hotspaw – our first-ever Official Supporters’ Club for dog lovers – have been posting pictures of their beloved pets on the group’s Facebook page for a chance for them to be featured on the stadium big screens ahead of kick-off and in the matchday programme.
This evening’s 'Dog of the Match' is Lexi – a 4-year-old chocolate dapple miniature Dachshund. Lexi is a typical sausage dog who loves snoozing under a cosy blanket and barking at the TV when celebrating with mum Roseanna and her friends when Spurs score. Her favourite pastime though is wearing her Spurs scarf to the pub to cheer on the team!
Alongside our 'Dog of the Match', we also profile rescue dogs currently up for adoption with All Dogs Matter – the fantastic charity partner of Tottenham Hotspaw – giving fans the chance to provide a forever home so badly needed.
Today, we are featuring Benji, who came to the charity after sadly being found as a stray. Benji is an adorable little boy but is quite nervous and so will need an experienced owner who can take it slow and continue his training. He will also require a quiet home with direct access to a garden and where he will be the only dog.
