The Cinnamon Trust is the only specialist national charity for the terminally ill and people in their later years and their much loved, much needed companion animals.

The Trust seeks to keep owner and pet together for as long as possible with the help of a national network of volunteers who assist when day to day care poses a problem.

One such problem has arisen in Pembroke Dock and volunteers are urgently needed to help with much-needed walks for a lovely three-year-old terrier cross.

"Our aim is to relieve the owners of any worry concerning the welfare of their pets both during and after their own lifetime making us unique amongst charities," said Tanya Swanson, Community Service Support

"All volunteers help in the ways that are most appropriate to them. Teams take it in turn to visit housebound owners, to take dogs for daily walks, volunteers foster pets as one of their family when owners face a spell in hospital, they take pets to the vet, clean the budgie's cage out. We take any problem posed in day to day care of pets¯ she added.

"We are always seeking new volunteers and, even if you can only spare an hour a week, we would love to hear from you,"
