Older dog lovers in our region who need Wag friends!

Newcastle

Mr S, 79, lives with his partner in Newcastle. They’ve always had dogs: a Chihuahua, Terriers and a Collie. Now they can’t have a dog of their own and really miss having them in the house. They’d really love a small dog to visit; they love to sit in the garden and think it would be lovely to have the company of a dog again. Do you have the perfect little cuddle monster and an hour or two most weeks to make a difference in your community?

 

Teesside

Stockton

Miss S, 84, lives alone in her own home in Stockton. She’s had dogs in her life for many years, and after that, she walked dogs for other people, too. She really loves them, and now she can’t have one; she really misses them. Regular Wag friends for company and a hug with a beautiful dog will be just what the Doctor ordered!

 

Northumberland

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!

 

Nr Durham

Ms S, 74, lives alone in her own home near Durham. She loves dogs; after losing her last dog, a Miniature Poodle, she looked after dogs for her friends. Now she can no longer have a dog and really misses them. She’d love a small dog to sit on her knee again and a wagging friend for a regular cuppa and a catch-up.
