Who is Behind Four Legged Friends?
Well, I am. But I am not a vet, not an animal behaviourist nor an animal trainer. I do not breed dogs, cats or horses or work in an animal rescue organisation though I would certainly love to do so if I had any time to volunteer.
I am a mother of two kids, two dogs and one cat. I had had two but my velcro cat Jerry died last year.
I am a webmaster and seo with my destination portal site focussing on the island where I live. Most of my clients are from there too and except for some pro bono stuff for a local dog charity, my clients are all very commercial.
As anyone who runs both a business and a family will agree juggling both leaves very little time at the end of the day. So why did I bother to start another site? Quite simply, I love animals - all animals. I've had dogs or cats all my life and have recently rekindled my love affair with horses. In my time I've also had hamsters, gerbils and one lovely little tortoise called Safari.
Whatever spare time I do have is spent on reading and learning about dogs, cats and horses. My inclination is to develop this site in support of the many rescues and shelters that are devoted to saving our four legged friends; let them tell their own stories and perhaps encourage even one visitor to my website to adopt, donate or volunteer.
In the breed information pages, you'll find less information about perfect show conformation than you might expect. Instead the focus is on the temperament of the dog, cat or horse in question and its suitability for family situations, general temperament, known health issues and links to breed rescue.After all, of the thousands of families searching for the perfect pet right now how many really care if their Great Dane sires possessed the perfect stop? Far more important to know is that these gentle giants are known to be good with children.
You'll also find articles about basic pet care with links to more information on all sorts of topics. There is even a pet store where you might find all manner of supplies for your own furry friends. So, thank you for visiting and I hope you'll come again.
I am always happy to hear from animal lovers so if you have any comments, suggestions or would like to tell my your own animal tale, then please email me: Julie.
