The Cinnamon Trust is a national charity whose wonderful volunteers help people over retirement age and those in the latter stages of a terminal illness by offering all kinds of pet care.

We are trying to find some dog walking support for a resident of Crowcombe Heathfield and her two adorable dogs – Dizzy, who is a ten-year-old Saluki, and Harry, her adorable 11-year-old Jack Russell cross who would love to go for a good walk.

What happens if illness, injury or just the fact that we all get older eventually affects our ability to look after our four-legged companions?

A large number of elderly or ill pet owners become very worried about their ability to care for their pets, feeling that their only option is to re-home them.

This is where our national network of dedicated volunteers step in to offer support, enabling them to stay together.

We’ll walk the dog for a housebound owner, we’ll foster pets when owners need hospital care, we’ll fetch the cat food, even clean out the bird cage or litter trays.

All volunteers help in the ways that are most appropriate to them.

If you would like to register or even have a quick chat about registering, just call me or Tressa direct on 01736 758707 or email [email protected] or [email protected]
