Million Paws Walk attracts thousands of people and their dogs throughout Victoria at several different walk locations, raising much-needed funds for ‘all creatures great and small’. It is the RSPCA’s major fundraising event of the year and without the generous support of the community and volunteers, we would not be able to raise the vital funds needed to care for lost, abandoned and rescued animals. We do everything we can to give each animal a second chance at happiness and events like Million Paws Walk help us to achieve this objective.
