PADS: 35 years of Rehoming Perthshire's Homeless Dogs

Joanna High grew up in Dunning and became involved with Pads (as it is now
called) when she was eight years old. She returned to the village as an adult after working elsewhere for a while, and was lucky enough to get the job she obviously
enjoys so much. We learned so much about history from the 1960s when stray dogs
were destroyed if not claimed within seven days, to how well they are currently cared for.

We also learned so much about the vasrious breeds of dog, and how much care is now
taken to treat every one as an individual and ensure that they can be well
matched to a new owner. And so much more......
