Pro-Life said it was extremely grateful for the turnout, especially in Saturday’s heat, and that there were plans to hold the Paws for Cause walk every three months following the success of Saturday’s event.
Pro-Life said it received donations of 258 kilograms of dog food and 62 kilograms of cat food, as well as R2 450.
“We really appreciate all the organisers, helpers and sponsors for making it possible. Thank you to Nicher Business Centre, Coral Events, Riverside CID, Turboformance, AVS Hire and Mbombela BMW,” said Pro-Life in a Facebook post on Sunday October 17.
