What happens if illness, injury
or just the fact that we all get older eventually, starts to get in the way of
how we can look after our four legged companions? What if we can’t walk them anymore? What if their health and wellbeing becomes
compromised because we just can’t do as much as we used to be able to?
A lot of elderly and ill pet
owners become very depressed and worried about the fate of their beloved
animals and feel that the best thing they can do for them is to rehome
them. This fortunately is not true. 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 companion animals.
A network of 15,000 volunteers “hold hands” with owners to provide
vital loving care for their pets. We keep them together - for example, we’ll
walk a dog every day for a housebound owner, we’ll foster pets when owners need
hospital care, we’ll fetch the cat food, or even clean out the bird cage, etc.
Unfortunately not every area in the UK is filled with
volunteers. We have a lovely little boy
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in the Melksham area whose owner is struggling to walk him. We desperately need some additional volunteers in
the area, even if they can only
offer an hour a week to this lovely dog, it will improve his quality of life so
much, plus it will give the owner peace of mind.
If anyone can help call Sally on 01736 758 707 or via email volunteer@cinnamon.org.uk Please also check
