Fotini was taken on as a puppy, but her Greek owner, Meni, was concerned about owning a female dog. She dreaded the thought of dogs sniffing around after her every time she was in season and the recurrent problem of having to dispose of her puppies.  With this in mind she was originally thinking of trying to rehome her. 

KATs explained that Fotini would have to be neutered before they could try to rehome her and this was how Meni heard for the first time that there was a way to stop dogs having puppies. As a result, with the help of the KATs voucher system, Meni has now had Fotini neutered and she has decided to keep her. She watched the operation (again, a surprise – she thought it would just involve an injection), asked lots of questions and read many of the information leaflets on display at the vets.  She now intends to take Fotini back to be vaccinated and has sought dietary advice from the vet to be sure she is feeding her properly.
