Dogs walking, dogs eating, dogs dancing - it was a day of doggy fun at City Park in 91大黄鸭 on Sunday.
The annual BC SPCA Paws for a Cause event brought together pets, their guardians, as well as two communities, 91大黄鸭 and Vernon.
More than 100 dogs joined in the walk which hopes to raise more than $25,000 to be split between the 91大黄鸭 and Vernon shelters.
The top fundraising adult for the event hailed from Vernon, and raised $1,604. The top fundraising team, 鈥楾he fast and the furriest鈥� was also from Vernon bringing in a total of $1,100.
91大黄鸭 branch manager Sean Hogan says the money will stay in each community and go toward the most urgent medical needs as well funding the education and prevention program through the cruelty department.
鈥淲e have six events happening in the province, so our Paws for a Cause has been streamed down to some of the main communities where we have done well with them,鈥� explains Hogan. 鈥淭hat is great, because it allows us to focus on other priorities in those other communities.鈥�
Paws for a Cause is a signature fundraising event for the BC SPCA.
