Dog–lovers are being encouraged to get volunteering with a charity.

The Cinnamon Trust, a charity that provides pet care for terminally ill and elderly people, urgently needs volunteers in Stanmore to walk a 12-year-old female Tibetan Terrier.

Trust volunteers can sign up to walk a dog for a housebound owner, foster pets when owners need hospital care, fetch the cat food and even clean out the bird cage or litter trays.

The charity always needs new volunteers who can spare even one hour a week.

To get involved, call 01736 758707 or email volunteer@cinnamon.org.uk
