Special charity dog walk raising vital funds for the USPCA.

Join us at Pomeroy Forest Park for Paws in the Park, our special charity dog walk raising vital funds for the USPCA.

Bring your own much-loved dog(s) along or just come to enjoy the atmosphere without a four-legged friend, everyone is welcome. It’s a fantastic, budget-friendly opportunity to get outdoors, meet fellow animal lovers, and support a brilliant cause.

There will be the choice of two walks - Nursey Trail and the Fairytail Trail. Both Trails will have lots of activities along the way for children and families to take part in.

Your walk start time is flexible too! Arrive anytime between 10am and 12:30 pm to complete your walk.

£25 per dog (includes family entry). £5 per additional dog.

Your doggo could get lucky because:

  • The first 20 dogs signed up will receive a free USPCA bandana.
  • All registered dogs will automatically be entered into a draw to win a free mini groom at our Groom Room in Newry!
  • They'll also get a goody bag full of treats kindly sponsored by our friends at Naturo Natural Pet Food!

You'll also be able to enter a raffle on the day, with the opportunity to win fantastic prizes!

And if you don't have a dog, you can still purchase a ticket, join the walk and support the cause!

Every single registration helps the USPCA continue its vital work caring for and protecting sick, injured, and abandoned animals across Northern Ireland.

So, come on your own, as a couple, with friends, or bring the whole family for a fab day out in the park!
