THE RSPCA’s annual Million Paws Walk will be held this Sunday 19 May at the Armidale Creeklands.
The walk starts at 10am but registrations for you and your pet start from 8.30am.
The walk will be about three kilometres in length, along a set route signposted with informative placards and posters. If you wish, you and your pet can walk just part of the way.
The Million Paws Walk is a national event held in over 70 locations across Australia and always attracts large numbers of people and dogs.
Not only is it a fun day out, the Million Paws Walk has a serious edge. It helps to increase awareness of people’s responsibilities to animals.
The event also generates funds for the local RSPCA Branch’s work in the care and rehoming of disadvantaged, stray and abandoned animals in the New England area. It also provides funds for local desexing campaigns and education and advice about pet care. it is the Armidale branch’s major fund-raising event.
The Million Paws Walk gives everyone the opportunity to have a great day out together, while helping the vital work of our largest animal welfare organisation.
Every step and every paw print raises more dollars to help the animals in RSPCA care. That is a very important reason to step out on Sunday 19 May.
The Million Paws Walk event this year in Armidale includes pet care advice, RSPCA products for sale, a barbecue, raffles, prizes and giveaways, face painting for children, pet competitions (including best dressed and best trick), a free veterinary check and advice.
If you love animals, there’s only one place to go on Sunday 19 May – the 2013 RSPCA Million Paws Walk. Note: all animals must be vaccinated, micro-chipped and on leads or otherwise restrained.
