The Cinnamon Trust
What happens if illness, injury or just the fact that we all get older, starts to get in the way of how we are able to look after our four legged companions? Many elderly and ill pet owners become worried about the fate of their beloved animals feeling that the only answer is to find them a new home, this is where we can help.
The Cinnamon Trust is the only specialist national charity offering pet care support to the terminally ill and people in their later years. Our volunteers will walk dogs for housebound owners, we’ll foster pets when owners need hospital care, we’ll fetch the cat food, even clean out the bird cage.
We have two dear little Yorkshire Terriers in Dunkeswell whose owner is unable to walk them. We desperately need some additional volunteers in this area, even if you can offer an hour a week to help these lovely dogs it will improve their quality of life and will give the owner peace of mind.
If anyone can help call Sally on 01736 758 707 or via email volunteer@cinnamon.org.uk
