Can dogs attend this event?

Please contact your community event organiser to see if your dog can attend this walk with you. They may have limited dog spaces. Our handy flowchart will help you decide whether a group walk with other dogs and people is something that your dog may enjoy. If the walk is in a public space, we would remind people who are bringing their dogs to adhere to the relevant legislation outlined in the Control of Dogs Act.

What's in my pack and when will I receive it?

The packs for each event type (National, Regional and Solo) will differ slightly, but each pack contains goodies so that you can show your support for The Big Paws.

We will be sending all The Big Paws packs in September; you will have them in plenty of time for the big day!

If you purchased your ticket on or after Monday the 25th of September, your pack will be available for collection at the event.

Can children attend this event?

Please contact the regional event organiser to see if their walk is suitable for children to attend.

How much are tickets to Regional Events?

There are no tickets attached to regional events however we would appreciate a donation to support our work in rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming dogs across Ireland. By donating, the memory of your best friend will live on forever and make tails wag every day.

The organiser of your regional event will share a fundraising link if you want to donate online. Find out who your local organiser is here.

I have signed up to host a regional event, are there posters available to advertise my walk locally?

When you sign up to organise a local event, we will call you to arrange delivery of your pack. This will include materials to help you promote your event, such as posters and more!
