This year's Strut Your Mutt charity dog walk is in recognition of the many ways pets enrich our lives. They provide companionship, protection, inspiration, purpose (time to walk me or feed me - nudge, nudge), and unconditional love. They can be funny and entertain us, they can help us socialize, they can sense when we are sick and comfort us. All they ask in return is love and ideally a safe place to call home with food and water.
Every dog and cat deserve a chance to enrich someone’s life; to provide that companionship and unconditional love. And yet, while we’ve made great strides in the last few years, in 2023, there were still around 378,000 dogs and cats being killed in our nation’s shelters just because they didn’t have safe places to call home. But you can help change that with a donation to Best Friends Animal Society.
Best Friends Animal Society is the only national animal welfare organization focused exclusively on ending the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. An authority and leader in the no-kill movement, Best Friends runs the nation’s largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals, as well as lifesaving programs in collaboration with a network of more than 4,000 animal welfare and shelter partners, and community members nationwide, Best Friends is working to Save Them All®.
That's why I created this fundraiser.
When you donate to my fundraiser, you'll be helping around 1,600 dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, horses, and other barnyard animals who on any given day reside at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Plus, you'll be helping to save the lives of homeless pets all across the country through lifesaving adoption and spay/neuter programs, no-kill initiatives, and more.
Thank you for donating to help save animals' lives. Together, we will Save Them All.
