The
Cinnamon Trust Needs You.

Registered
Charity No 1134680
Dog
Walking Appeal Verwood
The
Cinnamon Trust is the national charity formed to support the elderly and
terminally ill and their much loved, much needed pets.
Volunteers
help to keep owners and pets together either by walking a dog for a housebound
owner, fostering pets when the owners need hospital care and even cleaning out a
bird cage.
Unfortunately we have a shortage of volunteers in Verwood The Cinnamon Trust is
desperate for volunteers in the Verwood area. If you can only offer an hour a
week it will improve the dog’s quality of life so much and give the owner
peace of mind.
Contact:-
Sally on 01736 758707
