Sure, Meghan Markle is on maternity leave now that she’s welcomed baby Archie, but that doesn’t mean she’s taking a break from helping others. Between changing diapers and crushing the motherhood game, the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex found the time to write the forward for the annual review of her animal rescue patronage, Mayhew. Hey, she’s a woman of many talents.
The animal rescue activist began her note by opening up about the satisfaction helping animals in need has brought her.
“As a proud rescue dog owner, I know from personal experience the joy that adopting an animal into your home can bring,” she wrote.
The experience of adopting her dogs Guy and Bogart (he remained in Canada with friends when she moved to London), has brought her even more in line with Mayhew’s mission. She praised the foundation, writing, “The role that we, as people, play in rehoming and rescuing these animals is vital, but the role of organisations such as Mayhew is unparalleled. What initially struck me about Mayhew specifically is their community-based approach not simply on rehoming animals, but in the preventative care that inhibits these cats and dogs from ending up in shelters in the first place.”
