More than 100 people and nearly 90 registered dogs with 91大黄鸭鈥檚 Dogzies Canine School of Excellence participated in the organization鈥檚 fourth annual Santa Paws fundraising walk and event on Saturday (Nov. 27).
Dogs and their owners rendezvoused at the 91大黄鸭 Christian School soccer field at approximately 11 a.m., before walking to Pioneer Town in the rain for the fundraiser event, which came in the form of taking pictures with Santa Claus. In attendance were five St. Nicks and one Grinch.
Canines and their owners were required to book a time slot for their photos, with the cash donations going towards supporting the Taco Dog Rescue Society, an organization that rescues abandoned street dogs from Mexico re-homes throughout the province.
鈥淲e missed last year because of COVID, but we鈥檙e back this year and we鈥檙e super excited about the turnout,鈥� said Dogzies member Kandi Kosinska.
鈥淚t鈥檚 good to be out. It鈥檚 good to see people out and about, even in the rain today. People want to connect 鈥� they鈥檙e looking for some hope and some fun. This just shows.鈥�
