Make Spirits Bright & Tails Wag at the Ontario SPCA’s Santa Paws Walk

The Santa Run has been cancelled, but everything else is a go!

Lace up your walking shoes, grab your Santa hat or ugly sweater and get ready to make spirits bright at the Santa Paws Walk in support of the Ontario SPCA Leeds & Grenville Animal Centre.

This festive fundraising event takes place this Saturday, Nov. 15, from 12 noon to 3 p.m. at the Mac Johnson Wildlife Area in Brockville.

There was a 6.5-kilometre Santa Run scheduled for Saturday along with the walk, but the run was cancelled after low registration.

A dog-friendly social will take place from 12 noon to 3 p.m., featuring a 3km walk along the trails, bonfire, canteen, photo booth, and a variety of local vendors offering purr-fect holiday gifts and treats for pets and people alike.

While there is no cost to attend the social, donations are encouraged to help make the season merry and bright for animals in need.

“Join us on the beautiful trails of Mac Johnson Wildlife Area for a fun and festive way to help local animals in need,” says Katelyn Stojadinov, Community Outreach Coordinator with the Ontario SPCA Leeds & Grenville Animal Centre “The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is a registered charity that is 100 per cent donor funded, so every dollar raised helps give animals in our community a second chance.”

Dogs are welcome to attend the afternoon festivities.

Get ready for some ho-ho-howliday fun and help make tails wag this season.
