A charity is calling for more volunteers to help walk dogs for elderly and terminally ill pet owners.
The Cinnamon Trust, a national charity, is seeking dog-walking volunteers in Benwick to assist a resident in need.
The charity provides free pet care for people over retirement age and those in the latter stages of a terminal illness.
Many elderly or ill pet owners worry about their ability to provide proper care for their animals, sometimes considering rehoming their only companions.
This is where the charity’s national network of volunteers steps in to offer support, enabling them to stay together.
The Cinnamon Trust said: "We’ll walk the dog for a housebound owner, we’ll foster pets when owners need hospital or hospice care, and even clean out the bird cage or litter trays."
Potential volunteers can download a registration form from the charity's website or email appeals@cinnamon.org.uk.
For more information, people can call the trust during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm) on: 01736 758 701 or visit their website at: cinnamon.org.uk.
