Following our move to Scotland in June 2022, my wife and I were looking for activities to keep us busy after our early retirement.
Anna found out that there was a dog rescue local to where we now live and started volunteering. In March 2023 she asked if I would come along too, as there were two large dogs that were not getting enough exercise. I started walking those two ( Willow and Troy) three mornings a week until they were rehomed. I then started doing maintenance work instead and still come three mornings per week and enjoy keeping up to date with the comings and goings of all the dogs. During our time volunteering, we have fostered three dogs.
One of these, a border collie cross called Pepper decided that being fostered was not good enough and adopted us.
