Hundreds of pairs of people feet and dog paws came along to enjoy a meet, greet, walk, play and compete last Sunday, in the 17th annual Hillโs 1000 Paws Walk for SPCAs. Again, Highgate Wine Estate generously hosted the day by on their magnificent grounds on a perfect sunny winterโs day. Fund-raising began weeks ago with raffle tickets offering luxury getaways donated by three fabulous venues as the top three draw prizes. Schools ran a donation tin drive. Venue and competition entry fees on the day also contributed to the fund-raising pool. Proceeds will be equally shared amongst the three SPCAs that protect the animals in our area: the Mooi River & District, uMngeni, and Pietermaritzburg branches.
