The Hannah Foundation, the first of its kind in Australia, has recently been set up in Forth. For those of you who remember Lesley Bruce (aka ShadowBoxer) the foundation has been named after her Boxer, Hannah. In fact it was her story that inspired Lesley's friend Rita Lynd to start the foundation.
The aim of the not-for-profit Foundation is to provide a sanctuary for orphaned dogs whose owners have made provisions for their future care in their will. The dogs will spend the rest of their life at the sanctuary living in a home-style environment. There will be no fostering out and no rehoming.
Hannah's story is particularly poignant:
