AN animal charity is urgently appealing for dog walking volunteers in the Meavy area, who are able to offer much needed walks for a four-year-old Boxer.

The Cinnamon Trust is the only specialist national charity for the terminally ill and people in their later years and their much loved, much needed companions.

A large number of elderly or ill pet owners become very worried about their ability to care for their pets, and feel that their only option is to rehome them. This is where the charity's network of volunteers step in to offer support and enable the dogs to stay with their owners.

Cinnamon Trust is always seeking new volunteers, even if only for an hour a week.

Anyone who would like to help contact 01736 758707 or email [email protected]">[email protected] Visit the website http://www.cinnamon.org.uk">www.cinnamon.org.uk for more information.
