Strut Your Mutt is a series of charity dog walks that brings communities together to raise money and save the lives of homeless pets.

When you fundraise, you choose where your support goes: to Best Friends Animal Society, or to your favorite participating local animal welfare organization.

The 2019 schedule includes over 8 dates across 12 locations from September 7 to October 26.

Adopt a shelter cat this month, or if you already have, let us know the joys!

Just because a cat is at a shelter doesn’t mean that it has medical or behavioral issues. That is a common misconception, as animals are surrendered to rescues for reasons beyond their control.

Why adopt now?

- June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and rescues around the country generally lower adoption fees during the month.

Search ‘adopt a cat near me’ online and you can find local rescues with a furry friend looking for love.
