First up is The Cinnamon Trust, this is a charity very close to my heart. The aim of this charity is to provide peace of mind for elderly and terminally ill people and their pets. They have a national network of 15,000 volunteers who help elderly people to walk their dogs when they become housebound. this service provided by the volunteers can become vital to the people in need by giving them the help they need with the care of their pets. The charity also have a national fostering service available for anyone going into hospital for a short or long amount of time. Another service The Cinnamon Trust provides is a long term foster care for owners who have either died or gone to a residential home that does not allow pets.
This is an amazing charity doing amazing work. they need all the help they can get so if you would like to volunteer or donate, go to http://www.cinnamon.org.uk/
"The initial inspiration behind the idea was a 13-year-old collie we called Ted. Ted was blind in one eye and was terrified in the noisy, stark pound environment. He had to stay in kennels as a stray for 7 days but when no owner came forward to claim him, steps were taken to get Ted into a domestic situation immediately. Once in a foster home Ted thrived, the skinny dull-coated nervous boy became a healthy, active and rejuvenated character and became a star of the internet. Teds story generated so much support and sympathy that this old boy who nobody had wanted soon had many offers of loving permanent homes. It was felt that this support and enthusiasm could be channelled into helping other older dogs that found themselves in need of rehoming."
Older dogs may not be as desirable as puppy's but they are certainly not dull! especially if my Sam is anything to go by! This charity is so amazing by giving the older dogs a chance at happiness. http://www.oldies.org.uk/
