Caryn, KD2GUT and her dogs

Caryn says, "Both dogs were adopted as adults of unknown age; we suspect Pucci, the female, was younger than we initially believed and Ziggy, the male, may have been older than we thought.

Ziggy was a gentle Shih-tzu mix we adopted as an SPCA rescue and he lived with us for 6 years. Pucci was a Lhasa-poodle mix who was an off-the-street rescue who showed signs of having been abused. She lived a good life with us for 12 years." Photo of Ziggy Photo of rescue dog on K2D team

Why has Caryn chosen to operate K2D, and to honour these two dogs?

"I think the love of a dog is one of the purest life-affirming forces we can welcome into our lives.

It is a privilege to care for a dog, especially a rescue dog who is often the unwanted castoff of society. By operating with the K2D team I will be paying tribute to Pucci and Ziggy, and thank them both for their years with me, which I wish had been longer.

I also hope to inspire others to open their hearts and assist our loyal friends by whatever means they can."
