Doncaster dog lovers wanted to volunteer for charity

The Cinnamon Trust is looking for Doncaster people to help walk dogs in the local community.

Sometimes dog owners are unable to walk their pets and need assistance from charities such as The Cinnamon Trust.

The National charity is based in Cornwall but has over 50 volunteers here in Doncaster.

Sally Collins, appeal coordinator, told us: “There is an older dog owner in Thorne who needs support.

“Due to a health condition they are not able to walk their dog.

“We believe that it is always best the keep the dog with the owner - they are an integral part of someone's health and well being.

“They often help the elderly retain a sense of independence.

“But sadly sometimes when people loose mobility we need to step in to help.”

Volunteers need to over 16 and provide two references when applying online.

Each dog in need is assigned several volunteers so that they can set up a rota system.

No one has come forward for the dog in Thorne so far and they are desperately seeking a kind hearted volunteer.

“Volunteering is a win win in our eyes,” Sally said.

“You get that feel good energy from supporting your local community and you are getting out and about in nature.

“Often times people are helping those who live right on their doorstep.”
