Paws For a Cause

One of the most awesome charitable walks ever… with your for legged friends. Well I took my degus… he has paws I guess. It is great to meet other pet owners, get some exercise and support a good cause involving animals. There is something for both the animal and pet lovers.

Paws for a Cause was a success again. This year, the event was set up in Stanley Park at Lumberman’s Arch and the rain didn’t deter the thousands of people who showed up. Booths and tents with pet services and education filled the area showing support. The different booths included adoption services, pet insurance, pet friendly accomodations, nail clipping (funds went towards charity), agility course, treats and etc. It was great to meet many pet lovers and owners as well as their furry friend. This event helped raise money for the SPCA, but it was also so much fun for our family.
Background: Paws for a Cause is an annual fundraising event for more than 32,000 animails the BC SPCA care for each year. These are animals who may have been neglected, abused or given up by owners.
