Flossie came over from Southern Ireland in August 2016 after being financed by a lady called Lesley who is involved with most of the foreign dogs that come to this country for re-homing. She was a surrender rather than a stray.  The family had young children and were no longer able to keep her although we never actually got the full story. The impression we got was the wife didn’t want her, but the husband did.  Flossie was shy and un-socialised, but Liz, her new “mum” has been great with her. She now lives in Exeter and accompanies Liz pretty much everywhere.
