About The Speaker...
I have always loved dogs and when my son came along, we got our first family dog. Since then our house always has a dog or two in it. My dogs, friends dogs, family dogs and foster dogs. I was asked by one charity to foster after my older bitch was put to sleep and it was amazing to see the new dog come into my house nervous, scared and uncertain and then leave to a new home a few weeks later, much more confident and happy. My two current dogs are so good at teaching a dog to be a dog, and how to be calm and trusting in a new home.
About Their Talks...
I have been fostering dogs now for the last 8 years. I foster for Rommie Rescue West Sussex and Evermore Dog’s. I have looked after approx. 12 dogs over the last 15 years, four of them being my own ones.
I have had young puppies to and older statesmen 14-year-old and all sizes and shapes. I can talk through what the charity does, the process of adoption and how we match the dogs and owner as well as my own experiences of fostering. I have lots of funny stories to go with my pictures and videos, and I can talk for around an hour. I do not charge for my time but would ask for a donation to the charity Rommie Rescues West Sussex.
