AN owner unable to walk their dog is appealing for volunteers to help the pooch enjoy some time outdoors.

Jojo the two-year-old Bichon cross, who lives in Callands, would love to go for a long walk and The Cinnamon Trust is appealing to Warrington residents to help make it happen.

The Cinnamon Trust is a charity helping elderly or ill people with pet care and responsibilities.

A large number of elderly or ill pet owners become worried about their ability to care for their furry friend and will often feel their only option is to rehome them.

This is when the Cinnamon Trust and its national network of volunteers steps in to offer support and keep companions together.

Jobs may include walking the dog for housebound owners, fostering pets when owners need hospital care, help with feeding or cleaning litter trays and cages.

If you would like to register to look after four-legged friends like Jojo in Warrington call Sally or Tressa on 01736 758707 or email sallycollins@cinnamon.org.uk or tressaherriott@cinnamon.org.uk.
