About me, Roxy!

From the day I was born, I was always an adventurous puppy. Farmer Rob used to say I was cheeky. As soon as I could run, I used to find the best escape route from the pen and the other puppies would follow me. Every day he had to build the fence higher and higher!

I love my mum and the rest of my human family. They take me on adventures all the time to: parks, fields, towns, villages, beaches, woods and even on buses and trains. My favourite adventure of all is swimming in the river!

I have done Animal Assisted Learning and Therapy from the age of 12 weeks, have achieved KC Bronze level to show my obedience and been a mum to 2 beautiful litters of puppies.

A little bit about myself:

Firstly, let me just share that school was a difficult and unhappy place for me to be. It wasn’t until I was in my twenty’s, when I went into further education, that my disabilities were recognised, and I was given support to help me learn and achieve.

This has enabled me to work within a profession which I am passionate about.

Children and Young People, helping them to become the best they can be. To be Healthy, Happy and Safe.
