RSPCA Stapeley to stage sponsored dog walk to raise funds

Dogs and their humans are invited to take part in a sponsored dog walk to raise money for RSPCA Stapeley Grange and RSPCA Crewe & Nantwich branch.

The 5km dog walk takes place on Saturday October 5 at 11am, starting and finishing at the Rising Sun Inn on Middlewich Road, Wistaston.

Lee Stewart, manager at RSPCA Stapeley Grange, in London Road, Nantwich, said: “We’d love to see as many dogs and their two-legged humans as possible at our event to help us raise much-needed funds for both ourselves and the local RSPCA Crewe and Nantwich branch.

“The route will take walkers around King George V Playing Field, through Queens Park, along Wistaston Brook and through Bluebell Wood, ending back at the Rising Sun Inn for a well-deserved celebratory drink.

“It will be a great event for all the family – especially the dogs – and you will be supporting two very worthy charities.”

There are prizes available for most money raised.

Stapeley Grange rehomes 200 cats a year and helps rehabilitate more than 6,500 wild animals every year.

The RSPCA’s Crewe & Nantwich branch, a separately registered charity, rehomes dogs and cats who have been rescued by the RSPCA’s inspectorate.

This year is a big year for Stapeley Grange, as it’s the centre’s 25th anniversary.

Over this time the team will have helped over 130,000 wild, domestic and exotic animals.
