  Name Dog walkers needed

  ‘The only specialist national charity for people in their last years and their much loved, much needed companion animals.
  
  A network of 15,000 volunteers “hold hands” with owners to provide vital loving care for their pets. We keep them together - for example, we’ll walk a dog every day for a housebound owner, . . . . . etc.
  
  When staying at home is no longer an option, our Pet Friendly Care Home Register lists care homes and retirement housing happy to accept residents with pets, and providing previous arrangements have been made with us we will take on life time care of a bereaved pet.
  
  The notice on the left was posted on their site during April 2013 however if interested go to their site to see up to date information.
