Did you know dogs can raise money for charity too? That’s right, Paws 4 a Cause is back, giving both pet owners and their furry friends the chance to raise vital funds for LOROS.
On Saturday 8th May, pet owners and their dogs are invited to take part in a 4km walk around Abbey Park for LOROS Hospice.
Those without pets are also welcome, as there will be a selection of blow-up pets available to purchase and walk the route with too.
LOROS Fundraising Co-ordinator Laura Fitzsawyer said: “Paws 4 A Cause was great fun last year and we’re hoping this year’s walk will be even more so.
“Entry is free, all we ask is that you and your pet raise money for LOROS by asking family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you and your dog.”
There will also be the opportunity for dog owners to get a professional photo taken of their dog, thanks to The Love DOG Project.
Giving pet owners the chance to dress their pooches in a range of accessories, including neckerchiefs, glasses and bow ties, The Love DOG Project will be running a dog photo shoot stand especially for LOROS.
Pet owners will be able to buy a fully-mounted 7"x5" photo of their dog for the extra special price of £12.
“This is more than just a walk, it’s the chance for families, whether they have a dog or not, to come and enjoy a day out for LOROS,” added Laura.
“It’s always nice to see so many people enjoying themselves and the dogs having a great time too.”
Starting times for the event, which is being sponsored by Mars Petcare UK, are 10am and 11am.
