I have been a volunteer at Yagoona. Have always had dogs at the family property- I live in a unit so can't have big dogs. I grew up with German Sherpards, and our last beautiful doggie was Bessie, a female Rhodesian Ridgeback. She was my 'child'. Bessie passed away last August at 15 years and 4 months. I loved and cared for her deeply. I am a devoted animal lover and support many animal charities.
