Doggy fundraisers

A number of fundraising events are planned by the Kildare West Wicklow SPCA over coming months, writes Brian Byrne.

They include a Dog Walk on the Curragh Racecourse on Sunday 1 March, beginning at 2pm.

There will be a prize for the best dog and owner appropriately dressed for Dt David's Day (patron saint of Wales).

On Friday 2 April, Good Friday, an Easter Egg Hunt and Dog Walk will be held at Punchestown Racecourse.

The event will be between 2-4pm, and children are especially welcome.

There is no charge for either event, but all donations on the days will be welcome.

The KWWSPCA helpline is 087 1279835.
