ACHS 6th Annual Mutt Strut is finally here

Grab your beloved pup and head to the park to get in shape; the Athens County Humane Society's 7th annual Mutt Strut is this Saturday, June 2, from 3-5 p.m. at the West State Street Dog Park and Pavilion.   

"The Mutt Strut is an annual fundraiser for ACHS in which the community comes together to have bond with each other and their pets, said ACHS Board Member Corinne Colbert. We do so much serious work: running spay/neuter clinics, promoting adoption of homeless pets, educating people about issue like puppy mills.The Mutt Strut is a great way for us to associate our organization with something that's enjoyable for everyone.”

This community event will include contests, face painting, games, prizes and of course the annual walk with the pooches.  

“Taking your dog to the dog park can be a crapshoot; sometimes there are other dogs, sometimes not,” Colbert said.  “Your dog can play with lots of other dogs at Mutt Strut, and enjoy a pack walk along the river.”

         
With all the canine fun happening, the Mutt Strut is a great place for vendors with pet initiatives.  Vendors of the event not only receive exposure at the event, but are also recognized on the ACHS website to associate their business with the cause. ACHS is still accepting vendors for the event.

            
“Vendors get exposure to a group that's already shown itself to be interested in pets and animals,” Colbert said.  “If you offer anything related to pets, it’s a captive audience.”

           
Come out and support ACHS by celebrating with your pet at the Mutt Strut.  Registration is a donation of $15, and that includes a free t-shirt.  We hope to see you there!
