Events
Thank you to everyone who came to the KWWSPCA Annual Easter Egg Hunt on Good Friday. We had over 100 children and as many dogs and owners and it was a great success. The weather was cold but dry and sunny and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We should have raised about €1000 from the day and this will go towards paying some of our mounting veterinary costs.
Thanks to all our supporters on the day.
The next dog walk will be on Sunday 5 May in Kilcullen.
The Ballyteague Riding Club are organising a Summer Show at Coilog Equestrian Centre, Kilmeague, on Sunday, 7 July 2013 and the KWWSPCA will be running a Fun Dog Show at the event during the afternoon. Every type of dog is welcome and there will be a special class for Rescue Dogs.
Registration for the Dog Show starts at 1.30 and the Show will start at 2.30. There will be 8 Classes (details given below) and you can enter as many classes as are appropriate to you and your dog.
€3 for each entry and all the proceeds from the Dog Show will go directly to the KWWSPCA. The first three in each class will win rosettes and dog treats.
All dogs must be kept on leads throughout the Show so that the horses and ponies competing in the equestrian events will not be frightened.

3. Child 9 and over with a Dog
4. Dog Most Like its Owner

There will be face painting, a lucky dip (for children and for pets) and lots more.

Our annual EASTER EGG HUNT & DOG WALK will be taking place again this Good Friday, 3rd April. Everyone welcome. There will be an Easter Egg Hunt for all the children and a walk for everyone else. We meet just inside the main gate to Punchestown Racecourse.

Many of the KWWSPCA rescue dogs will be at the walk so we will be looking for volunteer dog walkers on the day.

Please call the Shelter on 087 2517381 to make arrangements.
