Gill Hodge is an Animal Behavior Expert at the RSPCA owned Little Valley Animal Shelter in South West UK. Because of her dedication and love, a Dalmatian called Zoe was able to have a new lease on life through learning sign language. Zoe has been deaf since she was born and this disability made her timid and prevented her from bonding with her previous human companions. Gill managed to gain Zoe’s trust and began a unique training program of commands through sign language. Zoe now knows all the basic commands that a dog with hearing would know. She has gained confidence and now has a new and loving home.

It is for this unique and dedicated work that Master sent Gill Hodge a letter of appreciation and a US$5,000 (£3,470) contribution to the RSPCA Little Valley Animal Shelter. Master also enquired if there was another dog at the Shelter with hearing difficulties called Blue. Having been informed that Blue has also found a happy home, Master lovingly gave beautiful doggie coats, dog beds and toys, along with veggie dog food and “green” bones as gifts to the two deserving canines.

“Your generosity is so much appreciated. Your generous financial contribution will allow more dogs to come into our care and benefit from our rehabilitation, so go on to become happier more content individuals. Once again, many thanks.”

“I also want to say thank you on behalf of this Shelter. It is one of the largest contributions we have ever received. I think there must have been Divine inspiration somewhere because the phone call about your donation came just ½ hour after I told Gill that I wanted to try and fund-raise enough money (13,000) to enable her to spend ALL her time working with the neglected dogs that come to us. We have put your money toward this special appeal. Thanks to you we are already ¼ the way there!”

We thank Gill Hodge and the Little Valley Animal Shelter once again for their valuable work; and may many more dogs continue to benefit from their wholehearted efforts of love and dedication.
