“As a devoted pet owner I am able to empathize with the issues that can arise from sharing your life with animals. Over the years I been fortunate enough to share my home with many different pets including cats, rabbits, rats and hamsters. My border collie “Jen” found me while I was volunteering with Border Collie rescue in Scotland and helped me to experience the up’s and & downs sometimes involved with taking on a rescue dog who has had a bad start in life. In my spare time I relax by taking her for long walks in the countryside and carry out home visits on a volunteer basis for the Bath Cats & Dogs Home.”
