Appeal for dog walking volunteers in Rushden area by The Cinnamon Trust

If you are in the NN10 postcode area and could offer some support to older residents of Rushden and their dogs who would love some walking companions, the charity would love to hear from you.

You would become part of a small team of volunteers assigned to a particular owner and their dog walking on a rota basis to suit your availability.

The aim is for the dog to get a good walk several times a week.

Volunteers who are able, also foster pets as one of their family when owners face a spell in hospital or respite care, they take pets to the vet, even clean out the budgie’s cage or cat litter trays.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, visit the charity’s website for more details about the trust and what they do.

Volunteer registration forms are available to complete through the website or email appeal[email protected] for further details.

If you would like to have a more in-depth chat about becoming a volunteer with The Cinnamon Trust, call during office hours (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm) on 01736 758701.
