June's pet of the month winner is Sally, who has walks with the our Bridgend branch ran by the lovely Emma! πΆ
Sally has been having walks with Bridgend since April 2023. Her owner had another walker previous who left them in the Lurch. But luckily, Bridgend was on hand to take over!
Laura, one of Emma's walkers and pet sitters has said - βI'd love to vote for Sally, she used to be so shy on walks but now she strides ahead and enjoys meeting the other dogs.π
Emma has also added - 'Sally never used to go to the toilet on walks, now she is. She would have to be picked up to go into the car, now she jumps in herself. Many things she's grown more confidence with because we've been calm with her, taken our time introducing dogs suitable to her and working with her owner to make sure she gets the best care.'
Congratulations Sally! Well deserved win. π€©πΎ
Happy Father's Day
