Thank you for visiting my Strut Your Mutt fundraising page.
Strut Your Mutt isn’t your average dog walk. Hosted by Best Friends Animal Society, it’s a huge festival with dog friendly events that raises money for a cause — saving the lives of animals in shelters across America.
This is so important to me because every day more than 950 dogs and cats are killed in shelters all over the US simply because they don't have safe places to call home. They are pets just like yours and mine. Each one is worth saving and I'm getting involved again to help do that. I have been volunteering for over 10 years now at Clay County Animal Care and Control and I have done my fair share of crying when I see animals come in frighten, injured, starving, sick, covered in ticks and/or fleas...the list goes on. I am trying to do something, anything to improve these animals' lives. Friends of Clay County Animals (FOCCA) was formed by a small group of dedicated volunteers. FOCCA serves the shelter's animals at Clay County Animal Care and Control. Through raised funds and donations, FOCCA is able to pay for medical care beyond the basic vetting that is provided by the shelter. Thus, animals that are sick, heartworm positive, or in need of surgery, are able to receive the proper veterinarian care, enabling them to become healthy and adoptable. Without our efforts the most vulnerable in our county shelter would be euthanized.
Many of the members of FOCCA, including myself, spend countless hours at the shelter, our Fleming Island adoption center and many adoption events...we walk dogs, clean the kennels, bath, and assist with adoptions. Since the animals can't talk...WE ARE THEIR VOICES...IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ANIMALS!! We are not paid for what we do, it's not our job...It's our passion.
I need your help to reach my goal. Can I count on your donation for this sponsored walk? It’s tax deductible for you, and the great thing is the FOCCA organization keeps all the money it raises (after transaction fees).
Together, we can Save Them All.
