MEET OUR CARERS

HOW LONG? I joined Jade’s in 2019.

FAVOURITE PART OF VOLUNTEERING? My favourite part of fostering is having the opportunity to prepare our pups and dogs for their forever home and giving them a second chance. Fostering is extremely rewarding for me and is something that I have always wanted to do since I was young. All my foster babies have a special place in my heart and I feel so privileged to have the opportunity with Jade’s to help unite them with their forever families.

HAVE YOU FOSTER FAILED? Yes!! We adopted Jay our Staffy x after picking him up to foster at 5 weeks old. He was my first foster pup with Jade’s and after 2 weeks with him we decided that he found our family for a reason and we needed him to stay with us. He is now nearly 2 years old and loves all his foster brothers and sisters that come through our home. Jay is how I came into contact with Jade’s and I thank him everyday as he made my wish come true to be so involved with Jade’s rescue and be apart of such an amazing team of rescuers.

IF YOU HAD THE POWER TO CHANGE ONE THING IN THE WORLD WHAT WOULD IT BE? If I had the power to change something, I would change the way people treat animals, I would make them to treat them only with love and good. Rescue can be so hard, you can come across so much neglect and cruelty, it’s so unfair as these dogs give such unconditional love and they deserve the same back.

WHO INSPIRES YOU? Who inspires me...definitely our head coordinators and head of Jade’s. You ladies are so inspiring and dedicated, I hope to do as much good in the rescue world as you have. I’m so honoured to be a part of such an amazing team!

TIME TO TELL A SECRET! My funny experience as a foster carer of puppies is that puppies are quick! And I mean really quick sometimes. You have to watch them constantly because the second you turn your back, unless they’re having a nap, they get up to mischief.

I’ve had my slipper disappear and become a new exciting toy that has never existed before, I’ve found evidence of someone sliding in their poop and running it all throughout the house , I’ve found some of my foster pups in the weirdest sleeping positions and spots in the house for example asleep in their food bowl after eating because they were in a food coma - don’t we all feel that way after having a meal front flips down the steps but they bounce back and continue chasing, the lean back pounces and jumps puppies do when playing is hilarious to watch, the list can go on but at the end of the day it is all worth it!!
