Absolute Pets Walk for Paws — Saturday 23 August 2025
Join us on Saturday the 23rd of August 2025, at the beautiful James & Ethel Gray Park in Melrose, Johannesburg, for a fundraising dog walk and pet fair.
Bring your dog and join us for a 1.5km walk for some special bonding time, followed by a fun-filled morning of community spirit in support of animal welfare. Every ticket sold goes directly to the Animal Anti-Cruelty League Johannesburg, so your family outing means meaningful support for pets in need.
On the day you can interact with local pet service providers including our friendly groomers at the Absolute Pets Pet Spa stand, the local dog walking team from Jolly Walker and dog training experts from Mckaynine Training Centre, as well as meet the teams behind your favourite pet brands.
You can also expect fantastic lucky draw prizes and giveaways!
They say you start to look like your pets, are you and your dog twinning? Does your dog do amazing tricks? Then you can enter them into our fun competitions for a chance to win fabulous prizes!
VIPP ticket holders will receive a gift bag to fill with loads of great products for both you and your pet valued at over R1000!
HURRY, there are only 100 of these tickets available!
We can’t wait to walk, play, laugh and give back together, because family comes first, in all shapes and sizes.
