The Cinnamon Trust, a national charity whose volunteers help people over retirement age and those in the latter stages of a terminal illness by offering all kinds of pet care, are looking to welcome new dog-walking volunteers to help a resident in Ventnor.
What happens if illness, injury or just the fact that we all get older eventually affects our ability to look after 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 rehome them. This is where the national network of dedicated Cinnamon Trust volunteers step in to offer support enabling them to stay together.
Volunteers will walk the dog for a housebound owner, foster pets when owners need hospital care, fetch the cat food, even clean out the birdcage or litter trays.
An Islander living in the Ventnor area has an adorable dog who would love to go for a good walk.
