Bri is a large, strong girl so the charity is looking for experienced walkers to help out and take it in turn to visit her and give her some fresh air.

All volunteers help in the ways that are most appropriate to them, they can take it in turns to visit housebound owners to take the dog for a walk, foster pets as one of their family when owners face a spell in hospital, take pets to the vet, even clean out the budgie's cage or cats litter trays.
