TAILS are wagging on the prospect of an enormous group occasion for dogs and their homeowners.
The charity-supporting Weymouth Big Beach Walkies is held on the final Sunday of April and the primary Sunday in October annually – earlier than and after summer season restrictions on canine walking.
This yr it is on Sunday, April 28 – the final Sunday canine homeowners can take pleasure in a walk on Weymouth Beach till restrictions finish on October 1.
It’s organised by DogFriendly.Social, a bunch created in Weymouth to unfold consciousness of dog-friendly businesses with its blue and white stickers. Displaying the stickers at premises permits canine homeowners simply determine locations they will carry their four-legged mates.
Linda Stevenson from the group mentioned of this yr’s seaside walkies occasion: “This yr our chosen charity is Margaret Green Animal Rescue, which is caring for extra dogs surrendered by no fault of their very own.
“Our occasions are free; we ask canine homeowners who attend for a £2 donation and all proceeds will go on to Margaret Green.
“We give free poo baggage and canine treats which may be collected from our gazebo, from 10am until 12.30pm. The walk will begin from the Weymouth Pavilion finish on the seaside within the unrestricted canine/occasions space.
“The walk begins at 10.30am walking to the stone groyne at Greenhill, then return to the beginning – or proceed the walk to Bowleaze Cove.
“We ask all canine homeowners to think about different seaside customers throughout our walk, and to maintain their dogs shut.”
