Pennies for Older Paws 2023

On Saturday 16th September 2023 a small group of dedicated supporters are donning their walking boots and putting their best foot forward to do a Sponsored Walk from Parwich, near Ashbourne, Derbyshire.  The full distance is 13 miles, with the less intrepid walking a distance of 5 miles.  The age range of the participants is varied, with the youngest being 12 years of age and the oldest 81 years of age and there will hopefully be a few dogs taking part as well.

The money raised from this Sponsored Walk will be used to help pay for Bed, Breakfast and Evening Meals and/or Veterinary Care for the older dogs and cats in our care including Eric, a Chihuahua, tabby cat Diana, black and white cat Tessa and ginger cat Gilbert. Eric is a very grumpy dog, but greatly loved by the foster family who care for him, he is about 15 years old, has a heart condition and is also arthritic. Diana is a grumpy tabby and is 8 or 9 years old, Tessa is 13 years old and has kidney problems and Gilbert only has 3 legs, he’s about 10 years old. Diana, Tessa and Gilbert are still waiting to find their forever homes.

These older boys and girls are greatly loved, but need just that bit of extra care and we are doing our very best to help them and others like them. Just because they are older doesn’t mean that they should be forgotten. We hope you agree and that you will sponsor the walkers to contribute to the care of Eric, Diana, Tessa and Gilbert.

Donations, no matter how large or small, will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
