Success for Duke

Duke has been with the Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary since October 2010. He’s had a very hard time in his early years and has a deep fear of people.

He had two sessions with Rachel Windsor-Knott who is a qualified animal therapist specialising in Applied Zoopharmacognosy. The transformation was such that rehoming was now a possibility. Rachel was delighted that Carin and Colin, both Applied Zoopharmacognosists, wanted to give him a home, and continue the work. For the past two days they have been spending time with Duke using their self-medication techniques and will be taking him to their home today where they will give him all the care he needs by letting him have his own space so he can build trust and get acquainted.

Duke is on his way to his new home.

Colin, Carin, Rachel and Aaron spent most of this morning keeping him calm until they were happy to transfer him to the car. Once he was on the lead Aaron led him to the car and he jumped up - Aaron didn’t have to lift him at all.

It couldn’t have gone any better.

Note from Carin and Colin:

Duke is enjoying his session with the oils today and had a restful night thanks to applied Zoopharmacognosy. I'm positive he would not have been able to come home with us yesterday if it had not been for the Zoopharm sessions Rachel and Colin completed before his trip north. We can't thank Caroline enough for giving us the gift of Zoopharmacognosy to reassure and support Duke as he transcends his negative experiences in the forthcoming months.
