Wyndham dog owners will be running with the pack at the Million Paws walk this month.
Point Cook’s Angela Infantino and her great dane Labrador, Molly, are inviting animal lovers to be part of their team at Victoria’s largest dog walking event to help raise money for the RSPCA.
The walk will be held at Albert Park on Sunday, May 19, with more than 12,000 people expected to participate.
RSPCA chief executive Liz Walker said every dog lover could play a role in the fight against animal cruelty while enjoying a fun day out.
“Every year we look forward to the Million Paws Walk – and every year it exceeds our expectations,” she said. “It’s inspiring to see the community band together and walk towards a future free from animal cruelty.”
The Albert Park event will feature live entertainment, food trucks, veterinary advice, dog washes and fun exhibits. Attendees will be able to enter pet dog competitions such as Best Rescue Story.
Money raised through ticket sales, online fundraising, merchandise and competitions will be used to support RSPCA Victoria’s work, including caring for more than 20,000 animals that come through its shelters each year.
