Description
The Nicosia Dog Shelter is organising its fifth annual Dogathon charity event on Saturday, October 11.
The organisers described the event as “a fun and novel way to increase awareness about the Nicosia Dog Shelter and raise money for the food, treatment and facilities needed by its residents. It is an unusual event in that it is something that people and their dogs can enjoy together while supporting a worthy cause”.
Stacie Davidowski Tziortzis, co-ordinator of the event said “it is a 2.5km fun run/walk for people and their dogs around part of the old city”.
Registration will occur on the same day, beginning at 2pm, and the run will start at 3.30pm with medals and prizes handed out afterwards both for the winners but also for some fun categories for pets and owners.
The Dogathon aims to draw attention to the importance of the Dog Shelter and to encourage a greater response to it from the community.
