Meet Linda - our new Shop Volunteer

Our Doggy Shop has recently changed hands, with 2 time OUR adopters Linda and Liam taking over the running of the shop for us from their home in Scotland. We asked Linda to introduce herself to our supporters.

“Me and my partner came across OUR dog foundation almost a year ago when we saw an advert for an emergency foster of Penny - she wasn't settling and was having some issues. After a discussion with my partner Liam, we decided to give fostering a go. Penny came to us with incontinence issues and was very nervous. Our two huskies were desperate to meet their new house guest but the great advice from the OUR team meant we waited weeks until Penny was ready for her introduction.

We soon realised that we couldn't bear to see her leave and became failed fosters with Penny becoming a permanent part of our family. It felt like she was always meant to be here - she is bossy and talkative and tells the boys when she has had enough. She enjoys her walks and loves the kids - she also loves meeting children at the play park and will ask for claps. As Penny also loves meeting other dogs, in December we welcomed Mia into our growing family - a very confident puppy also from OUR Dog Foundation. Mia made herself at home and introduced herself to Ziggy, Nanook and Penny very quickly, and is the new boss of the house, or so she thinks, completing our family.

Recently, Liam and I wanted to help and give back to the rescue, and have since taken on the OUR shop, which we are enjoying helping out with.”

We can’t thank Linda and Liam enough for their support, for helping Penny out when she was in desperate need of a foster, and for doing such a great job in the OUR Shop.
