Sophie Corcora and her Dog Daisy
HUNDREDS of people and their furry companions came out for the annual dog walk and donated to a worthy cause at the Curragh Racecourse recently.
The event in aid of Kildare Animal Foundation took place on Sunday 29 December.
Each donation made entitled walkers entry into a raffle to win with vouchers from TRI Equestrian and their dog-friendly café, Maxi Zoo hampers, as well as donated spot prizes.
Speaking to organiser Áine Corcoran about the event, she said: “It went really well – it didn’t rain and there was a great turnout. Hundreds of people came on the day.
“The curragh racecourse have been absolutely fantastic to give us access to that whole area.
“We don’t charge people a set amount for coming, we just say give what you can. Every cent goes to the shelter."
The Curragh dog walk is not only a fundraiser, but a wonderful example of the good work that Kildare Animal Foundation does year round.
Áine said: “There’s so many things that we could all be giving to and its really nice that people support their local animal shelter. There was actually a lot of dogs there that had been rescued by the Animal Foundation and then rehomed afterwards, so that was lovely."
