Canine Quarantine Virtual Outdoor Challenge: Go the distance while social distancing
The SPCA of Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke Counties invites you to join us for something that isn’t cancelled: spending time outside with your pets.
Our virtual run/walk encourages you to set a goal to run or walk with your dogs during Be Kind to Animals Week, May 3-9. It’s easy to participate. Register at winchesterspca.org, use your own personal app to track your distance, tag the SPCA on social media and post pictures of you and your pets as you participate in the Canine Quarantine Outdoor Challenge.
Let’s show kindness to our pets who have been a stable source of comfort during this time of crisis. All proceeds from the Canine Quarantine Outdoor Challenge go directly to the SPCA’s Pets for Life program, which provides support to pet owners negatively impacted by COVID-19 who need temporary financial assistance for pet related issues.
