Lismore’s biennial big day out for dogs is on again this weekend.

Organiser Jane Spinaze, from the Keen Street Veterinary Clinic, said Paws in the Park was a fun day and an opportunity for owners to get their dogs out and about and socialising.

“We’ve been doing it for a few years now and people have been so excited that it’s on again,” Ms Spinaze said. “It’s really popular.

“There isn’t heaps for local dog owners in our local area and they normally have to travel a long way for dog events.”

Ms Spinaze said there would be a tonne of activities to keep owners and their dogs busy during the morning.

Competitions will include fashions on the field, a talent show and golden oldies, a pawfect puppy parade, tennis ball lotto, the great spoon lick and seven legged race.

An agility course with obstacles such a tunnel, walkthrough and high jump will be available and Photos in a Booth will be running a canine photo booth costing $5 for a strip of shots.

For the children, there will be a ball tossing, colouring in and guessing games and the story dogs and Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers will be running a fundraising barbecue brunch store.

"We've got heaps of prizes to give away so pretty much everyone will walk away with something," Ms Spinaze said.

Entry is $10 which goes to Northern Rivers Animal Services with almost everything else free except the photo booth, food and coffee.

“It’s just a fun day to get out there, supporting dog owners and dog responsibility,” Ms Spinaze said.

“We normally get about 150 dogs and we’re hoping to raise at least $1000.”

Paws in the Park will run from 9am until about noon on Sunday at the Lismore City Rugby Club, 1 Rugby Rd, Lismore. No EFTPOS facilities are available so remember to bring cash.
