Tails Humane Society
Mutt Strut benefits Tails Humane Society and the 2,500 homeless pets that we care for each year. The proceeds from this event go directly to caring for the animals in our care. It helps with their day-to-day care from food and litter to medicine and surgical procedures.
The Tails mission is to create a compassionate community through the care of companion animals.
On any given day, Tails cares for 300 animals, 150 animals in our shelter and just as many in foster care.
Volunteers donate over 1,000 hours of service every single month at the shelter.
