Event information
Paws on the Promenade is back to invite everyone to participate in a fun walk to raise funds for the Mdzananda Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha.
In partnership with Vondi’s Holistic Pet Nutrition, the event sees people and their dogs walk a 5km route along the Sea Point Promenade, starting at the lighthouse in Mouille Point. Various shorter turnaround points are available for old or struggling pets (and humans) and walkers without dogs are welcome too.
There are awesome goodie bags the first 100 dogs to arrive on the day. Coffee, snacks, food, crafts and raffle prizes are also up for grabs. Attendees can lean into the experience and dress like their pet or wear something orange.
The Mdzananda Animal Clinic is an NPO animal clinic in Khayelitsha township serving up to 1500 animals per month through consultations, hospitalization, general and orthopaedic surgeries, continuous sterilisations, mobile clinics, an animal ambulance and homeless pet shelter. They also set a priority on community empowerment and education to ensure people become responsible pet ownership into the future.
A small number of homeless dogs for adoption will be at the event, and participants can 'rent a dog' to walk with during the event.
