Note: The Mutt Strut site will remain live until May 31. We know there are still pledges that have not been collected or, perhaps, you still want to “hound” family and friends. Help raise the “woof” on Mutt Strut so that our shelter underdogs and undercats have a home until they find their Wonder families!
