NHSPCA Doggie Paddle Plunge Saturday

A fun plunge into the freezing cold Atlantic Ocean will be held Saturday to benefit the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

You can register for the event here.

Last year was the inaugural plunge event for the NHSPCA. Twenty-one brave dog owners took the plunge and raised over $6,000 for the organization. The NHSPCA is hoping to double those numbers this year.

The event will be held at the Great Island Common in New Castle. Registration is at 11 a.m. in the common's recreation center. Refreshments will be served, and there will be a lunch served after the plunge.

Each registered plunger will receive a NHSPCA beach towel. Prizes will be given away for people who raise the most money. Other prizes will be awarded fpr best costume and most St. Patrick’s Day inspiration.
