~Walk/Run~Donate in a 5K called "Strut Your Mutt" (NYC)

Save to Favorites

PLEASE NOTE: Below are the links if you would like to participate (run/walk) or donate, there are no other volunteer opportunities at the event.

As of 9/23 only 31% of our goal is met! Let's get to 100%! With your help we can. Any $ can help.

WHAT IS STRUT YOUR MUTT?

Strut Your Mutt is a dog walk, 5K run, and dog-themed festival benefiting animal welfare groups and Best Friends Animal Society as they work to save the lives of pets in shelters.

HOW?

Please join us either by registering for our team or donating to one of our team members. Your donation is tax-deductible and our organization keeps 100 percent of the money we raise (after transaction fees).

WHY?

Every day, more than 9,000 pets are killed in America's shelters simply because they don't have safe places to call home. That number should be zero. And our Strut Your Mutt fundraising team is helping to make it happen. But we need your help, too.

The money we raise will be used in our community to fund adoption programs and spay/neuter services, to ultimately impact the number of pets entering and leaving the shelters.
