Nicole really goes to the limit to fight to save dogs with no payment and always a struggle to fine enough fosters and funds but she never gives up. I am in total awe of her.
She recently received a tiny puppy with a terribly deformed palate and little chance of survival, David. Despite her paid employment and all her other responsibilities she had to feed this tiny baby very special food and fluid in such a way that he did not choke or drown in the process. She still has full care of him and he still has to be given fluids in a very time consuming way just to keep him alive.
This is only one example of what an amazing person she is. As you will be aware, rescue organisations are full to the brim but there are these amazing people who will do almost anything to save lives. I have only met Nicole a couple of times and she’s a very humble person with a huge heart. By show NZ what she is doing, alongside her co- founder of Ellie’s Canine Rescue and Rehome (a registered charity), and the amazing fosters, maybe more people will adopt rather than shop for that new canine family member.
