In 2000 I moved to Australia to pursue my passion of working with animals. I began work at a dog rescue shelter/boarding facility part time and a rural vet clinic part time. I worked as a vet nurse for 5 years, but eventually gave up the position to concentrate on the animal rescue role. I started out as a carer/rehomer before quickly being promoted to kennel supervisor and refuge manager, a role I held for 3 years. I then worked for the RSPCA in Canberra for 2 years before moving back to Perth and returning to the dog rescue shelter as Foster Care Coordinator. I am experienced in behaviour and many personality traits that stem from past abuse or trauma. I have worked with terrified dogs who would not allow anyone to touch them and dogs that were so poorly they needed to be carried to the toilet. In addition to dogs, I worked with cats extensively at the RSPCA and have been a cat owner myself. I am trained in reptile handling (snake catching specifically) and have owned rabbits with special needs. I am an active person who loves to walk. In 2019 I returned to the UK with my children (and dog) . I am a single mum and I care for my own mum so dog walking fits in perfectly with my current lifestyle.
