Who’s walking who?

The annual dog walkathon started at Elgin Feeds at the intersection of John Street North and Beech Street and headed south towards Steen Park and along some other quiet residential and park areas in town. The event raised money for Helping Paws Rescue, a non-profit organization based in Aylmer and East Elgin that rescues abandoned dogs from shelters in the region and finds them new homes.

    Hi Craig
    Our Helping Paws Rescue Walkathon on Saturday was a great success!!! We were able to raise $1,135!!!!! That’s after all expenses. Super excited about that. That will pay for almost the entire heartworm treatment for Mia, rottweiler mom who delivered her pups and weaned them. She is now able to start her heartworm treatment. I couldn’t be more happy with the results. It was a great day for the dogs
    Thanks,
    Teresa
