Every year, the Winnipeg Humane Society has its annual fundraising walk, called Paws in Motion. This fundraising event brings in 50% of the WHS's donations every year. It takes them 6 months to organise it each year and thy always hope for a big turn-out with lots of sponsors and donations. Over 10,000 animals goes through their doors every year in need of shelter, medical care, and love. They do everything the can to save as many lives as possible. But they need your help. The Winnipeg Humane Society relies on private and corporate donations to keep their doors open.
Last year I went as part of a team, but at the time I didn't have Sophie. This year I registered alone and will be walking the 3km around Assiniboine Park with my Sophie and over 100 other dogs and there people. Some people bring cats in strollers and I heard that someone is bringing a donkey this year! Before and after the official walk, there are demos, contests, a live band, various animal/pet related kiosks, and vendors to peruse.
Here are some photos I took of last years event:
As I said, this year I registered and am taking pledges. If you know me (and see me regularly), you can donate in person. For other who want to donate, I have an online website where I can accept secure donations.
Please donate what you can, to help care for all the animals in need. Any donation $10 or more can get you a tax receipt.
