Join us this Sunday, June 4, 2017, for the 25th Anniversary New Hampshire SPCA Paws Walk!  The event takes place at Stratham Hill Park (270 Portsmouth Ave, Stratham, NH) from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with the official walk stepping off at 12 Noon.  Walkers can choose between a 2 or 1.5 mile walk along the wooded park trails.

Paws Walk is much more than a fundraiser walk, it is a dog festival featuring fun activities, dog demonstrations, pet friendly vendors, and delicious food. Watch adoptable dogs strut their stuff during the Dogs on the Catwalk ceremony and sign up to participate in the many other dog themed activities happening throughout the day.  Be sure to also visit the Doggie Day Spa, which is Chuck Billy’s favorite part of the day splashing in the kiddie pools.  New this year is the Build a Pet House contest!  Design and build a Pet House using only recycled or found materials, to be displayed that day at the event.  Judging will take place at 11:00 AM, with Paws Walk participants invited to vote on their favorite!  For complete rules, visit Paws Walk 2017.  There you will also find all the exciting prizes available for the top fundraisers at each prize level for the walk.

Proceeds from Paws Walk help the NHSPCA shelter provide food, safety, critical medical care and a second chance at finding a home, for the thousands of homeless animals that need their help each year.  Last year’s Paws Walk donations helped to care for over 2,500 homeless animals, provided nearly 10,000 youth with Humane Education programs, aided in the investigation of cruelty complaints, offered behavior and training classes to hundreds of participants, and so much more!

Please join hundreds of animal lovers and enjoy a great day out with your dog at this important fundraiser for the NHSPCA.  Registration is $35 for adults and $25 for children under 16, and can be done in advance or at the event on June 4.  Want to help but can’t make it?  Donations to support the many Individuals and Teams registered are also greatly appreciated!  For more information, please visit NHSPCA.org.
