FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(DALLAS, TX); March 31, 2021 – The SPCA of Texas is offering a t-shirt design contest for the 16th annual Strut Your Mutt, the Race to End Animal Cruelty, presented by Hill’s Pet Nutrition and VCA Animal Hospitals until April 4, 2021. Supporters can vote for their favorite t-shirt design on the SPCA of Texas’ Facebook post and help choose which design is used for the official Strut Your Mutt t-shirts. The winning t-shirt design will be announced on the SPCA of Texas’ Facebook page on Monday, April 5.

Additionally, the SPCA of Texas is offering a No Fooling registration discount from March 31 to April 4. Registrants can use the code NOFOOLING to receive $10 off their registration fee during that time. Visit gostrut.org to register and start fundraising today!

The SPCA of Texas’ Strut Your Mutt, the Race to End Animal Cruelty, presented by Hill’s Pet Nutrition and VCA Animal Hospitals, will take place virtually Thursday, May 6 through Saturday, May 8, 2021. The event is virtual, and minimal contact swag bag pick-ups will take place at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center at 2400 Lone Star Drive in Dallas from noon to 2 p.m. The SPCA of Texas is inviting its supporters and friends to register, form teams and raise funds to end animal cruelty, as the SPCA of Texas needs the support of the community now more than ever during these challenging times. To get started right away, visit gostrut.org.

The goal of Strut Your Mutt is to raise awareness about animal cruelty in North Texas. The SPCA of Texas’ Animal Cruelty Investigations Unit responds to thousands of calls to rescue abandoned or neglected animals, many resulting in criminal convictions in multiple North Texas counties. This critical work continues, even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

To participate, register and form a team at their all new website, gostrut.org, and fundraise to help the SPCA of Texas. Registration for a virtual strutter with a sport t-shirt is $40, a virtual strutter with a t-shirt is $35 and a virtual strutter without a t-Shirt is $25. Additionally, runners can track their mileage with apps such as Run Keeper and Strava. Once a team is registered and given a memorable name, strutters can set up a fundraising goal, recruit team members and build team spirit through their team page.

Then, between now and May 8, strutters can walk or run from the safety their neighborhoods or their favorite paths, tracks or trails…with their best canine friends by their side, of course! All at their own pace.
