More than 700 walkers and their furry dogs filled up Queen’s Park on Sunday in the annual RSPCA Million Paws Walk.
As part of the organisation’s biggest fundraiser of the year, all shapes and sizes of dogs pulled their owners out for a walk into the crisp autumn air at Queen’s Park.
“We’ve had tiny little one kilo chihuahuas up to some massive Saint Bernards and Bernese mountain dogs,” RSPCA Toowoomba manager Hayley Maxwell said.
“We should fundraise about $25,000 today for Toowoomba, which is so important for us to keep doing the work that we do.”
The money would go towards investigating animal cruelty, keeping the animals fed and clean and walked, she said.
It would also support the medical and vaccination process for adoption as well, she said.
Apart from the fundraising, the RSPCA is always open to donations, and what the paw friends tended to need most was peanut butter and old blankets, she said.
