Dogs walking, dogs eating, dogs dancing - it was a day of doggy fun at City Park in Âé¶čAV on Sunday.
The annual BC SPCA Paws for a Cause event brought together pets, their guardians, as well as two communities, Âé¶čAV and Vernon.
More than 100 dogs joined in the walk which hopes to raise more than $25,000 to be split between the Âé¶čAV and Vernon shelters.
The top fundraising adult for the event hailed from Vernon, and raised $1,604. The top fundraising team, âThe fast and the furriestâ was also from Vernon bringing in a total of $1,100.
Âé¶čAV 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.
âWe 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,â explains Hogan. âThat is great, because it allows us to focus on other priorities in those other communities.â
Paws for a Cause is a signature fundraising event for the BC SPCA.
