Animal Angels Network holds an Easter Mud Pupper walk in Walkerville
The fun day saw lots of families coming through to enjoy the various stalls, ranging from home baked goods to toys and care products for animals.
Animal Angels Network, with the help of various animal welfare organisations, held a Easter Mud Pupper Walk at Thornhill Stables in Walkerville on April 2.
The day was held as a fund-raiser for various animal welfare organisations and gave animal lovers the chance to take their furry friends for a walk or put their dog through its paces on an agility course.
There were more events like a fancy dress competition for dogs and an Easter egg hunt for children planned but, unfortunately, due to a rain, the events were cut short.
