(KAIR)--The Doniphan County Pet Rescue invites area residents to take part in a new fundraiser, “Dogtober! Paws for a Cause Dog Walk.” It will be held on Sunday afternoon, October 2 from 2 to 6 in Bendena. All funds raised will go directly to the Pet Rescue to benefit the animals.
The event features a leisurely walk on the mostly level blacktop road that runs by the Pet Rescue’s new location at 887 Friendship Rd. in Bendena. The walk will commence at 2 p.m. Participants may bring a dog on a leash to walk, walk without a dog, or contact the Pet Rescue to make arrangements to walk with a shelter dog. Various distances will be marked off on the road for 4 miles, and people who are walking may choose the distance they would like to cover.
The entry fee for the Paws for a Cause Dog Walk is $20 per adult and $10 for children 12 and under. People who register before Sept. 20 will receive a t-shirt with a special design. To register, visit the Doniphan County Pet Rescue Facebook page and click on the link, or call the Pet Rescue at 913-370-3297 to register over the phone. Registrations will be accepted any time up to and even on the day of the event.
Pet Rescue Director Trina Earl, in a release says, it's the first year for the event, adding that it will also be a good opportunity for those attending to see the progress made at the Pet Rescue’s new location and also see what has yet to be accomplished.
Some other activities will be taking place that day, in addition to the walk. From 2 to 4 p.m., Wayne Meyer, DVM will be giving rabies vaccinations for $7, and the Pet Rescue will offer other annual vaccinations for free, thanks to a grant the organization received from PetCo. Agility equipment will be set up, and there will be a talent show after the walk. Chewy has sent a prize for the talent show winner.
There will also be hot dogs, chips, and drinks available after the walk.
