“And I’ve always respected RSPCA WA and its work in the community and am very aware that the organisation always needs more funds to investigate animal cruelty.
“The Million Paws Walk is such a great way for animal lovers to show their support for RSPCA WA particularly the great work the inspectors do in fighting cruelty and I’m looking forward to driving up to Perth on the day.”
A Million Paws Walk will also be held in Rockingham on the same day at Naval Memorial Park from 8am to 1pm with a start time of 11am.
RSPCA WA relies on fundraising and community support to generate more than 90 per cent of the funds required to sustain its animal protection work.
Eight regional walks are also taking place across various locations between Shark Bay, Denmark and Kalgoorlie.
