It is with a very heavy heart that I have to inform you all of the very sad passing of one of our original and most dedicated supports.
It was our very great privilege as a family to meet Julie when we first bought St Giles. She had been involved for a number of years prior to this and had tried very hard to raise funds and improve the lives of the animals needing rescue.
Julie was the most loving, giving lady who adored dogs and together with her family donated items, collected donations and raised much needed funds. She also fostered dogs and  was a valuable member for the trustee committee.
Julie answered a plea from us one Christmas when we had many rescue dogs at the centre.  We we’re desperate to get them into foster homes over the festive period. She intended to have a little dog, something small she  said. When she arrived all of the little ones had gone off to their  foster homes so we jokingly asked her to  take Jessie a Great Dane cross. In true Julie fashion and with the support of her mum she took her home and that’s where she stayed.
