The annual Dog Walk Event on the Knavesmire on Sunday 18th September, in support of Keep Your Pet, is going ahead.
Keep Your Pet is a service provided by Age UK (York).
Volunteers provide assistance for older or vulnerable domestic pet owners at times of ill-health or other emergencies.
Support includes dog walking, visiting to feed an animal, taking an animal to the vet and short term fostering.
People who take advantage of the support say it’s very very important to them.
“I don’t know how Daisy and I would have managed” said one person.
“I think it is clear that without your support I would have had to hand her back to Dogs Trust. which would have been awful for her given her age and insecurities”
The Keep you Pet Dog Walk is open to all and starts at 11am on Sunday 18 September. Registration is from 10:15am with a £5 pound entry fee.
Meet at the entrance near the racecourse buildings on Knavesmire Road in York.
