Who Let the Dogs Out? Delinda Did!
Like all good stories this one began with a significant turning point. For Delinda, the founder of BreedBuddies, started her journey after a significant life change, finding healing and purpose through rescue dog Kenny during the COVID.
Both Delinda and Kenny had experienced their share of battle scars, but together, they embarked on a path of mutual healing. A year of profound connection revealed the immense comfort and unconditional love only a furry friend could offer. Though Kenny eventually returned to his original family, the experience etched a powerful truth onto Delinda’s heart.
Later, with her new blended family and partner Richard, a small bundle of fluff, a golden Groodle named Monty arrived. Little did they know, Monty’s beautiful nature would spark a grand vision that would result in BreedBuddies.
The Monty Factor: A Love Story That Inspired a Revolution
Monty bounced into Delinda and Richard’s life, and suddenly, everything got a whole lot brighter! His tail-wags were contagious, his love for life was inspiring, and he was basically a furry, four-legged bundle of happiness. A chat with a super-smart vet and an innocent question from a friend who is a professional dog breeder and Monty became the proud dad of nine tiny bundles of joy. Talk about leaving a “paw-print” on the world! Delinda realised then and there that dogs like Monty weren’t just awesome companions; they were happiness-superheroes, snuggle-champions, and legacy-builders!
