Paws Explores Hike and Seek - May 28


Paws Explores returns with a new Hike and Seek Adventure for Melbourne dog lovers. 

This one is a "trails for treats" adventure with your dogs, which will be held on Sunday 28th May in the stunning You Yangs Regional Park near Little River (VIC).

This is also a charity event to help support Edgar's Mission and The Fred Hollows Foundation. 


Not only will you have a great day adventuring and experiencing nature at the beautiful You Yangs Regional Park but you'll also meet some new like-minded friends and receive a doggie bag full of goodies at the finish line.

You're welcome to bring your own food and drinks for after the event to sit, relax and have a picnic to enjoy the views.

The actual hike can be as long or short as you want it to be. You'll be given a map and some clues to seek what needs to be found. You will have three hours to choose your path and be back before time runs out at the finish line!


This is a family-friendly event and the walk is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels and all pet breeds are welcome. Please remember that you accept responsibility for yourself and your pet, who will need to be with you the whole time on a lead.

* If you do not have a pet, or your pet is unavailable, you're welcome to come as a family or group of friends! Every little bit helps (as with all these events) and all proceeds are divided between both charities.

Don't "paws" as there are limited tickets remaining for this event!

When: Sunday 28th May 2017, from 9:30am to 12:30pm

Where: You Yang Regional Park, Branch Road, Little River, VIC, 3211

Cost: $39 per Adult; $18 for Children under 18; $14 per Dog.
Pre-sale tickets only - no registrations are available on the day of the event.

Dog Eye Injuries can be a Vet Emergency

Eye injuries in dogs and cats are common and are usually caused by trauma (such as a fight with another animal), a foreign body in the eye, infection, an inability to form lubricating tears, or an abnormality in the eye.  WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EYE INJURY? Presentations for these include squinting, pawing the eye or face, watery eyes, a discharge from the eye, the eyes can look red or inflammed, the pupil size may be abnormal, or the pet simply appears uncomfortable or in pain. But when is this an emergency and when should pet owners seek veterinary help? Most injuries that appear superficial occur to the cornea. This is the outer layer of your pet’s eye. There are many very thin layers to the cornea and the seriousness of the injury depends on how many of the layers have been damaged. Injuries to the outermost layer can heal quickly with medication in little time. However, the deeper the injury, the greater the chance of scarring or blindness which often requires surgery to prev...

AWLQ’s Stray Animals’ Day – a chance to make a $124,000 difference Ambassador NRL Titan Chris McQueen has launched AWLQ’s inaugural Stray Animals’ Day April 4 challenge with a target of $124,000, to cover the cost of running its vital foster house program. “An incredible 6,200 animals, or more than 71% of all animals in AWLQ’s care, spend time in foster care each year,” Chris McQueen said. Oliver, the Staffy cross - what a difference a month makes! Animals, just like Oliver. The Staffy cross had a severe skin condition and has so far spent a month with foster carer Amelia and was at the challenge launch. “It’s amazing to see the difference in Oliver’s condition in that time,” Chris said. “This is clearly a happy dog that is enjoying a home environment while he recuperates.   “In the off-season Nicole and I would be looking to foster for AWLQ – as it’s so rewarding and makes such a difference.” Animal Welfare League Queensland continues to be a leader in animal rehoming....
