We have a dedicated team of caring Admin girls, each bringing their own unique knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm to the rescue. The Admin team assist Poppy to keep things running smoothly.
Nicola
Admin & Transport
I just muck in the admin where I'm needed. But I mostly create chats, transport chats, keep an eye on transport when we have dogs coming over, message forever dogs chats see how the dogs are getting on. I check up on the dogs the day after they have arrived on transport. I also keep note of what dogs are due to come across and dates they are coming on transport that I get from Poppy. Before I started fostering 5 years ago we looked after dogs for friends and family I love it. It is so rewarding. I also foster failed with girly Lacey. I was always cat person before I met my husband as I worked full time. But my husband was a dog man but he didn't have one when we met due to rented accommodation didn't allow it. I love spending time with the dogs. It's so rewarding to see them in their forever homes. I have kept in touch with a couple of them. I love working with the rescue you get to see from when they are rescued and then in their forever home it's so heart warming.

Admin & Website
I try and help Nicola and Poppy with the chats, help with home checks, monitor/answer any emails, help with individual dog fundraisers and help in any other way I’m needed. I designed and built the new Pawsome, Born to be Free website
My background stems from being brought up with horses, which made me want to spend more time with animals. So I trained as a Veterinary Nurse, where I fell in love with small animals but in particular dogs. I eventually got my own dogs (Siberian Huskies) who I showed & worked for fun. I met my husband and we both showed the dogs, but then went on to race them successfully for nearly 40 years under our kennel name of ‘Valuiki’. We adopted 3 Romanian dogs in 2014, and decided that was where our hearts lay, helping the dogs being abused and neglected in Romania. This led to us meeting Poppy and Pawsome, Born to be Free. The rest is history…
