Is Your Pet Ready for the #FitPetChallenge ?
We’re challenging pet parents across Ireland to ‘go fur it’ and take part in a new, fun social media challenge called the #FitPetChallenge! Tying into our annual health and lifestyle programme Operation TransPAWmation, we want to see pets walk, play, swim, and jump—everything and anything to get them active and having fun!
How Do I Take Part?
Taking part in the challenge couldn’t be easier—all you need to do is…
- Challenge your four legged friend to get active every day for 2 weeks (whether it’s out on the beach or playing with some toys—the important part is that they are moving!)
- Snap a picture and upload to social media (this can be at any point during the challenge; Day 1, Day 7 or Day 12—whatever day suits you!)
- Nominate 3 friends to also take part in the challenge!
- Donate to our GoFundMe which is raising funds for our various Rescue Centre partners across Ireland.
It all kicks off on Monday, 21st February so make sure to get your four legged friend ready for an exciting two weeks ahead!
