Wiggle Waggle Walk-a-thon
Duration: 09/12/2010, 9:00 am to 09/12/2010, Dusk
At the 21st Annual Hamilton Burlington Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the City of Hamilton Public Health Services Rabies team, along with stakeholder agencies such as Hamilton Animal Control, The Hamilton Academy of Veterinarians, the local Hamilton Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) office, and the SPCA will run a booth for World Rabies Day. The main goal of the booth will be to raise awareness of World Rabies Day and the importance to vaccinate cats, dogs, and ferrets, and to learn about dog biting prevention information. The World Rabies Day booth at this Wiggle Waggle Walk-A-Thon will hopefully be the first of many ways the newly formed rabies stakeholder group will support WRD in the years to come. The goal of the Wiggle Waggle Walk-A-Thon is to raise pledges to support the sick, injured, homeless and abused animals in the HBSPCA's care. The WRD booth will be one of several other information booths at the event.
