Petworld launches Fun Run and Walk for Irish Dogs for the Disabled

Petworld is sponsoring a national Furry 5km Fun Run and Walk benefitting the Irish Dogs for the Disabled on Sunday August 7 at 11am at locations near Petworld stores across the country.

The Petworld Furry 5km Fun Run and Walk will be a fantastic fun event combined with the opportunity to help a really worthwhile national charity, Irish Dogs for the Disabled.

To register, just call into any of the Petworld Stores including their Athlone store located in Shannon Retail Park, Dublin Road and pick up a sponsorship card for Irish Dogs for the Disabled. It promises to be a fun day, with loads of fun freebies like free doggie goody bags, a free professional portrait taken of each participant with their dog, and a Totally Talented fun doggie competition with great prizes and more!

Jennifer Haer, marketing manager from Horkan’s Petworld explained, “Every summer the staff in all our Petworld stores get involved in a big fundraiser for charity and this year we are delighted to have selected Irish Dogs for the Disabled as the beneficiary. The Furry 5km will be a great day out for all dog owners and we are encouraging people to come into any of the Petworld Stores around the country to register for the walk and pick up a sponsorship card.”

Deirdre Keaveney, fundraising coordinator for the Irish Dogs for the Disabled added, “Petworld have been tremendous support to us and this event will help to spread the word about the services we offer at Irish Dogs for the Disabled and raise some much needed funds to ensure we can train dog partnerships for even more families affected by disability.”

Irish Dogs for the Disabled create special partnerships using specially trained working dogs which help create mobility, independence and lots of happiness for all our clients. They train task dogs for children and adults in wheelchairs and mobility dogs for children with disabilities. The service is nationwide and provided free of charge to all clients.
