Doggy fundraisers
A number of fundraising events are planned by the Kildare West Wicklow SPCA over coming months, writes Brian Byrne.
They include a Dog Walk on the Curragh Racecourse on Sunday 1 March, beginning at 2pm.
There will be a prize for the best dog and owner appropriately dressed for Dt David's Day (patron saint of Wales).
On Friday 2 April, Good Friday, an Easter Egg Hunt and Dog Walk will be held at Punchestown Racecourse.
The event will be between 2-4pm, and children are especially welcome.
There is no charge for either event, but all donations on the days will be welcome.
The KWWSPCA helpline is 087 1279835.
