Queensland dog events in May
May is just around corner and even though it’s cooling down, there are loads of great opportunities to get out and about with your pooch in QLD during May.
Million Paws Walk 2011
On Sunday 15th May the RSPCA will hold it’s annual Million Paws Walk. In QLD alone, RSPCA Qld will be hosting walks at over 20 locations around the state including a new location for the Brisbane walk at the Murrarie Recreation Reserve.
On the day you can take part in a 1.5km or 3km walk, mingle with other pet owners, take part in competitions, check out the exhibitor stalls and watch the animal demonstrations. There is always plenty of food, drink and entertainment to make it a great day out.
You can register online before the event or register on the day. Funds raised through walk registrations and online fundraising goes towards vital programs, services and campaigns undertaken by the RSPCA, as well as looking after the animals in their care.
