Regional RSPCA Million Paws Walks

Thank you Victoria!  

The 14th Annual Million Paws Walk was held on Sunday 18 May at 14 locations around Victoria.

Last weekend was wet and wild for some, but for RSPCA it was great to see our supporters right across the state come out and support us.  More details on the success of the event will be posted soon.

In 2007, more than 16,000 people across Victoria participated in the Million Paws Walk and helped us raise more than $200,000. These funds were used to assist our shelters, inspectorate, veterinary and education services. As RSPCA Victoria receives only 4% government funding, community support of events such as Million Paws Walk are vital in raising the funds needed to care for all creatures great and small.

When you and your canine friend walk with us, you not only help to raise money for RSPCA animals, but you take part in the doggy event of the season!
