“Mutt Strutt” sponsored dog walk and ‘Dogs Day Out’ at Pennington Flash, Leigh. We will bring along half a dozen dogs who are looking for a new home, from one of our RSPCA animal centres. Visitors will be able to sponsor a dog and take it on the walk. You never know, we may be able to find a loving new home for the dogs at the same time. The meeting point is the field adjacent to the visitor centre.
Registration from 10.30am Walk Starts 11.30am. sponsor forms available from our charity shop.
This is a good day for all the family to enjoy and blow away the cobwebs and get some exercise. There will be a Tombola and a ‘Fun’ event to find dogs with the funniest smile, waggiest tail, best trick, lookalike competition (dog and owner)
Please come along and take part to lend your support to our needy cause.

This is a major fundraising event in the calendar of the RSPCA.

We are also permitted to collect donations from the very generous customers who pass through the doors of the supermarkets at Wigan, Atherton and Hindley.
