Pennies for Older Paws 2024

On Saturday 14th September 2024 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 13 years of age and the oldest 82 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 long term foster dogs and cats in our care including Tyler a lovely Terrier dog who is 15 years old and spent 14 of those years tied to a kennel. He is now in a wonderful foster home and enjoying his life, sadly he has arthritis and kidney disease, but we are doing everything to help him have a happy, pain free life for as long as possible. Milo is a brown tabby who came into care when his owner passed away. We are not sure how old he is, but he looks and acts like an old man. He is very arthritic so needs medication to ease his pain. Maisie is a lovely grey and white cat who is 16 years old and enjoys life in her way. She just gets on with her life without bothering anyone.
These older boys and girls are greatly loved in their foster homes, but need just that bit of extra care and TLC so 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 Tyler, Milo, Maisie and others.
Thank you for caring.
