A CHARITY is appealing for volunteers to walk a couple of dogs in Althorne.

The Cinnamon Trust, based in Cornwall, is a charity set up to take care of the needs of pets belonging to the elderly and terminally ill.

A spokesman for the charity said: “We urgently need dog walking volunteers to help a resident of Althorne and their two adorable Maltese, Sadie, 15 and Smurfie, 10 who would love to go for a good walk.

“All volunteers help in the ways that are most appropriate to them.

“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.”
