SPCA of Texas’ Strut Your Mutt Less Than One Month Away

The SPCA of Texas‘ 17th annual Strut Your Mutt, the Race to End Animal Cruelty, presented by VCA Animal Hospitals and Hill’s Pet Nutrition, is less than one month away!

Strut Your Mutt will take place on Saturday, April 30 at Fair Park in Dallas from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. People can bring their pets to join them in this unique event to raise funds for the SPCA of Texas and help fight animal cruelty. The festivities begin with a 5K timed race at 8 a.m. and a 3K fun run/walk at 8:15 a.m. Registration begins at 7 a.m. For even more fun, participants can browse through vendor booths at the Bow-Wow Bazaar, sponsored by ISN Software Corporation, and enjoy family-friendly activities.

To participate, register and form a team, visit gostrut.org. Registration for a 5K runner is $40 and a 3K fun runner/walker is $35. From Friday, April 1, through Sunday, April 3, use discount code “NOFOOLING” to receive $5 off your registration! 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.

All registrants can do even more help the SPCA of Texas raise funds for its critical work ending animal cruelty by participating in the individual and corporate fundraising challenges for cool prizes. Top fundraising challenge prizes will be awarded to participants who collect the most pledges. Donations may be made for Strut Your Mutt through May 30.

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, and the community’s support makes this possible.
