200 people have shown their commitment to animal conservation by participating in this charity action. The international Rhino Dog Squad project will once again have the support of Valencians to protect rhinos through the BIOPARC Foundation.
The circumstances experienced this year made the “virtual” option necessary to continue this initiative highly valued by animal lovers. For 7 years, many people and families have participated in what was the first race in Valencia that was run with your dog. In each edition, hundreds of teams gathered in the BIOPARC access plaza and this year had to be maintained, even if only symbolically, this solidarity event that allocates its profits to “a cause”, rhino conservation.
Today We have to thank you for the great participation, as well as for the displays of affection and commitment to the animals, especially with those who are part of the family. It must be remembered that this test aims to raise awareness in society about animal welfare, emphasizing the responsibility of incorporating pets into our lives.
200 teams have registered for the Can-rrera and many of them have sent their photos and videos full of feeling. People of all ages and even from different backgrounds, since being virtual opened access to those who in other years could not travel or who were not able to travel due to various circumstances. A lot of emotion when we even wanted to share the loss of one of these wonderful animals with which we had participated in the previous editions and, in his memory, also this year "could not miss it." All of them have posed and sent emotional photos and videos, with the “official attire”: the t-shirt and the scarf, which contained the runner's bag that was given to each participant.
As it is a solidarity test, the benefits obtained will be allocated through BIOPARC Foundation to the international organization Save the Rhino, and its Rhino Dog Squad, an “squad” of dogs specially trained to help detect and pursue poachers.
