We are giving donations to Dogs Trust in memory of Mum to honour her deep love for animals and to celebrate the incredible joy that two special dogs, Skye and Poppy, brought into her life. Mum's connection with Dogs Trust began when we adopted Skye and Poppy as eight-week-old puppies. Without Dogs Trust, she would not have had over 15 years of happiness and companionship with them. They were more than just pets; they were cherished members of our family who filled her life with unconditional love and laughter.

Dogs Trust does truly great work, and Mum always admired their commitment to dog welfare. They are dedicated to giving every dog a happy life, from providing expert care and finding loving furever homes to campaigning for better animal welfare laws. Their "never put a healthy dog down" policy is a testament to their compassionate and responsible approach, ensuring that every dog in their care has the best possible chance at a bright future. By supporting Dogs Trust, we are helping to ensure that other families can experience the same profound joy that Skye and Poppy brought to Mum (and to all of us!)

In Mum's final months, she also found great comfort and enjoyment in the company of our new family dog, Rocket. Although their time together was short, the bond they shared was a beautiful reminder of Mum's enduring love for all dogs. This donation is a way for us to give back and thank Dogs Trust for the wonderful work they do, ensuring that more dogs like Skye, Poppy, and Rocket can find their way into loving homes and bring immeasurable happiness to others, just as they did for Mum.
