Having recently given up work due to ill health, I've found myself with lots of time on my hands and I've been wondering what I should do with the time I have available. I'd love to be able to do something worthwhile like volunteering at a school, or in a charity shop but with my situation being as it is I wouldn't be able to be a reliable worker.
I turned to Google and looked at volunteer opoortunities for those at home and one I stumbled upon was pet fostering. This is where you take in a pet for a while until it can be re-homed, usually from a rescue centre. I mulled it over for a few days and then decided that this would be a perfect hobby for me. Having owned dogs previously I'm not in a position to give a dog a permanent home but I do have a lot of time for doggy cuddles and walkies!
I expected that any kennels would be grateful for the offer of free care of a dog in their care. This wasn't the case and two kennels refused my help before I spoke to Castlefield kennels in West Hallam. They were delighted with my offer and were keen to meet me and see whether any of their current residents would be suitable. We came to an agreement about it would all work and then I went to meet Pup....
