Older dog lovers in our region who need Wag friends!

Tyne & Wear

Newcastle

Mr O, 65, is a widower and lives alone in Newcastle. He recently lost his beloved Whisky, a Pomeranian, but now, for health reasons, he can’t have a dog of his own and is really missing the company of a four-legged friend and a rather nice two-legged friend for a chat at the same time.  Could our lovely cuddle monster be just what the Doctor ordered for Mr O?

 

County Durham

Newton Aycliffe

Mrs B, 92, is widowed and lives in her own home in Newton Aycliffe. Her family visit as often as they can, but she finds herself feeling increasingly isolated as she’s not able to get out much anymore. She hasn’t had a dog of her own for a while; she lost her last Poodle over 10 years ago. She absolutely loves seeing her family’s dogs, but they can only visit a couple of times a year, so having regular visits from her own Wag furry friend and a catch-up over a cuppa will make such a difference.

 

Teesside

Hartlepool

Mrs T is 88, widowed and lives alone, and she also lost her much-loved dog around 3 years ago, so she’s really sad and missing her loved ones. Her children visit as often as they can, but she’s still on her own more than she would like, and she’s started feeling quite lonely. It would really help her to have a lovely little dog to hug again, a Wag friend for some company, and a regular chat.

Near Alnwick

Mrs L is 78 and now lives alone in a flat in an Assisted Living complex.  She loves dogs and, really sadly, had to rehome her beloved Jack Russell recently after having a fall while walking her. So so sad! After her fall, she is feeling really isolated and lonely, and she’s unable to get out much or at all. She really only sees carers and medical staff now, so having a lovely new friend for a chat and a cuppa, and their lovely dog, will be just what the doctor ordered!

Near Rothbury

Mrs M was widowed over five years ago, and she sadly lost her dog around the same time, too. She’s always had dogs – Collies, Labradors and Dalmatians – but it’s no longer possible to have one of her own, and of course she misses them terribly. We can all imagine what that must feel like, and you can help. With just an hour or two most weeks, for a chat, a cuppa, and a cuddle with your special dog, you can make a world of difference to her life and make a new friend at the same time.
