Announcement - Friends have appointed an Ambassador

[Baglady]

Since gaining Charitable Status earlier this year, Friends thought it was time to appoint an Ambassador, to help spread the word about the plight of strays, responsible pet ownership, and to help with our overall aims to reduce the number of stray and abandoned dogs in Cardiff and South Wales.

This position holds a lot of responsibility, knowledge and experience. We knew we needed someone who understood what it was like for a dog to be torn from it's owner, through no fault of it's own, and find itself in new and strange surroundings. We also wanted someone who could explain to owners how best to keep their dogs safe and secure, someone who could advocate and be the voice of stray and abandoned dogs.

We think we have found the perfect candidate.

Please welcome Rocco








Some of you may recognise Rocco from his Facebook page. Help Find Rocco He was stolen on 1st March, the day of Friends Charity Launch Party, and his family spent a gruelling and heartbreaking 12 days trying to find him. Rocco was brought into CDH on 12th March and very quickly reunited with his owners.

Rocco will be taking his ambassadorial duties very seriously, but you can also expect to hear from him about the thrills and joys of being a much loved family pet.

to Friends Rocco!

Hi everyone,

Ambassador Rocco here! I just want to say that I am extremely proud to represent The Friends of the Dogs Wales and I will take my role very seriously (with lots of laughs and cuddles along the way).

I hope I do a good job and I am looking forward to helping to raise awareness of my doggy friends that are less fortunate than me :-)

I am still very grateful to everyone for helping to bring me home so I am available for cuddles, kisses and licks and I am looking forward to meeting everyone.

My mummy says I may even get a uniform to wear and she is very very proud of me.

xx xx
