Alexa Du PlessisOn Saturday 19 September, Glasslyn Vets swapped the consulting room for the great outdoors as we hosted our very first Wag & Walk with Glasslyn Vets, a 5-mile charity dog walk in aid of the Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA).
And what a day it was!
We were joined by dogs and their owners from across the local community, all coming together for a fun afternoon of walking, wagging tails and supporting a fantastic cause. From energetic puppies to more leisurely walkers, there was plenty of enthusiasm along the route — and, of course, plenty of four-legged friendships made along the way.
Walking for a Cause
The Wag & Walk was about more than simply getting out for some fresh air. We wanted to bring our clients, their pets and the wider community together while raising much-needed funds for the CSPCA and the animals in their care.
Throughout the event, we also had a CSPCA donation station, giving walkers the opportunity to make an additional contribution on the day. We also set up a GoFundMe fundraising page so that people could continue supporting the charity before and after the walk.
The CSPCA does incredible work caring for animals in need and helping them find loving new homes, and we were delighted to be able to support them through this event.
Plenty of Fun Along the Way
Of course, no Glasslyn event would be complete without a little bit of fun!
There were prizes and competitions, plenty of wagging tails, and lots of happy faces along the route. Our raffle was also a huge success, with some fantastic prizes generously donated by local businesses and supporters.
A huge thank you goes to everyone who donated prizes, sponsored the event, helped with the organisation or simply turned up and took part. Events like this really are a team effort.
A Huge Thank You
We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, volunteered, sponsored, shared our posts and helped spread the word.
Your support helped make our first Wag & Walk such a success, and it was brilliant to see so many members of the Glasslyn community — both two-legged and four-legged — enjoying the day together.
Most importantly, every euro raised will help support the CSPCA and the animals who rely on their care.
We are already looking forward to the next one!
From all of us at Glasslyn Vets — thank you for walking with us, wagging with us and helping us make a difference. 🐶💚
A special thank you to our supporters
We are incredibly grateful to all the local businesses and suppliers who donated prizes, services and support for our Wag & Walk raffle and fundraising efforts. Your generosity helped make the event even more special.
