A RESIDENT of Cnwch Coch is asking for some dog walking support.

The appeal has gone out from 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.

A spokesperson said: “We urgently need dog walking volunteers to help a resident of Cnwch Coch and Ceri, a dear little 13-year-old Shih Tzu, would love to go for a walk.

“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 our national network of dedicated volunteers step in to offer support enabling them to stay together.

“We’ll walk the dog for a housebound owner, we’ll foster pets when owners need hospital care, we’ll fetch the cat food, even clean out the bird cage or litter trays.

“Teams take it in turn to visit housebound owners to take the dog for a walk, volunteers foster pets as one of their family when owners face a spell in hospital, they take pets to the vet, even clean out the budgie’s cage or cats litter trays.”
