Join us for a Christmas dog parade guaranteed to get tails wagging! Connect with fellow dog lovers and raise vital funds to fight the housing emergency this winter.
Starting directly outside Newcastle City Marina, the walk is relaxed, accessible and family-friendly (route to be confirmed). At the finish line, the fun continues with free refreshments and a chance for the best-dressed dogs to win prizes.
Wrap up warm, put a Christmas jumper on your pup and embrace the festive cheer. All proceeds from Paws on the Tyne will help defend the right to a safe home for everyone.
Your ticket includes:
festive fancy dress competition for dogs with prizes
free finisher's 'doggy bag' for your furry friend
free bobble hat for humans
warm refreshments and puppachinos at the finish line
a photo of you and your dog with Santa (for a suggested donation)
Fundraise with your furry friend
Why not ask family, friends and neighbours to sponsor your dog? Once you sign up, we'll send you details of how to set up your dog's fundraising page.
Every pound you raise fuels the fight for home this winter. Together, we'll stand with people (and their pets) who face homelessness or unsafe housing.
If you raise over £50 in sponsorship, you'll get a free pet bandana!
