What did 400 people and 200 dogs do on a February Sunday morning at Taman Langsat in Kebayoran Baru?

They walked, laughed, sniffed, played and had a WONDERFUL TIME at Jakarta Animal Aid Network’s (JAAN) PawDay Family Dog Walk.

Socializing a dog is important and as there are not many “dog parks” in Jakarta, JAAN’s PawDay Dog Walk offered a rare opportunity for dogs and owners to get together.

Not only did everyone enjoy a stroll around the shady path in the park, but then they shopped at the Vendor Bazaar and dogs looking for fun played a Doggie Musical Mutts Game and tried their paws at painting like a Picasso.

Larasate was on hand to help with the judging of the Puppy Art and MetroTV’s Alvin showed off his dog and touted his support for JAAN.

A huge Raffle topped the excitement producing many happy winners.

JAAN thanks Platinum Sponsor AXIS and our Gold Member Sponsors: Santa Fe, Avoderm, Petz & U, Eastern Promise and Kong for making the event possible.

The JAAN PawDay event raised much needed funds for JAAN’s ongoing programs: rescuing pet dogs, stray cat sterilizations, and wildlife protection. JAAN also is working to end the cruel Topeng Monyet Industry and improving the health of carriage horses in Indonesia.

In the past 3 years, JAAN has re-homed 300+ pet dogs, sterilized 1500+ stray cats and dogs, and rescued endangered Brahminy Kites, Sea Turtles, abused Dolphins and primates.

JAAN is solely funded by contributions from caring and generous individuals.

If you want to help JAAN improve the welfare of animals in Indonesia, please visit their website at www.jakartaanimalaid.com and learn more about their programs, how you can make a donation, and/or pet adoption/foster care.

Won’t you have a heart for the animals and help JAAN?

Thank You.
