CEO Peter West said this year’s challenge allowed people to set their own fitness and fundraising goals during the next four weeks before the official walks on May 21.
“With the weather hopefully on our side this year, our Million Paws Walks look set to be the biggest yet in Tassie,” he said.
“With luck, we will see around 3500 people and 14,000 paws pounding the pavements around the state.”
The annual event, which is held at a number of locations around Australia, is the animal charity’s biggest fundraising event.
Money raised will go to the continued operation of the three animal care centres, community engagement activities, advocacy work and the animal inspectorate team, which deals with animal cruelty calls.
