RSPCA Paws Walk 2016

RSPCA's Paws Walk a hit

476 registered human participants took to Ela Beach with 35 doggies. However, that number rose when the general public joined in.

“People from the general public who, after noticing that others were walking their doggies, also came with their doggies and joined (mainly people from the nearby settlement),” community liaison coordinator Brigitte Baki-Ta’u said.

“I counted five young men with their doggies.

“Our own shelter doggies, which we brought along for the walk, were 4, giving us a total of 39 doggies who attended the walk.

International sporting stars to attend RSPCA Paws Walk

International sporting stars Andrew Walker, the first dual code international for Australia, and Jason Smith, former Olympian, Commonwealth Games gold medallist and captain of the NBA’s Sydney Kings basketball club, will be joining dog owners and animal lovers at Ela Beach on Sunday, October 9, for the 7th Paws Walk.

Walker and Smith will be present to cut the ribbon to officially start the walk.
