Paws for a Cause helps animals

BCSPCA

Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty on the Sunshine Coast by registering and fundraising for the 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk.

The Paws for a Cause walk begin at Cliff Gilker Park next Sunday, Sept. 7, at 11 a.m. with the walk starting at noon. Proceeds from the walk will benefit animals at the Sunshine Coast SPCA.

Participants will enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including an on-trail scavenger hunt provided by Eagle Ridge Veterinary Hospital and The Landing Veterinary Clinic, games for dogs and their owners, a Nosework demonstration by No Pawblems K9 Camp Companion Animal Care, a toonie prize draw, a barbecue and more.

“This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” said Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year — it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and four-legged participants.”
