Lady O’hagen (Devon)

I was worried about my sheep; I have raised them from lambs and they are a family. They come to me for their breakfast in the morning and we have a set routine. I couldn’t believe there was a charity that understood how I felt about them and that promised to care for them in the way I have.

Suki’s Story

After one of our walks, my phone rang, it was my GP informing me that my blood test results necessitated immediate hospitalisation and that an ambulance was on its way. I was in a total panic about what would happen to Suki.

I called The Cinnamon Trust who took control of the situation and sprang into action. Lovely Julie, the short-term fosterer arrived even before the ambulance to take charge of Suki. Suki had a wonderful time and was superbly cared for in Julie’s dog-loving home allowing me to recover without worrying about her wellbeing.

Ceridwen & Juanita with Bramble, Dyfed

My six-year-old daughter Juanita and I have begun volunteering to walk Bramble, a six-year-old Border Terrier. The fact that Juanita and Bramble are the same age was the first clue they would become friends!

When we first explored the country lanes together on a Sunday morning and people came out of the chapel, we realised Bramble is famous. He is a local legend who people fuss over without hesitation due to his sweet temperament.

Katherine & Percy, Wiltshire

Since my stroke in October, I am no longer able to go for proper walks with my four-year-old Jack Russell, Percy. He had gotten used to daily outings and the change in our lifestyle took its toll.

Claire, Alex and Nigel are such lovely individuals and they clearly enjoy taking Percy for his walks. He's used to the routine now and patiently waits at the designated time, eagerly looking out for their arrival.
