3rd Annual PAWS Mutt Strut the most successful yet!
On behalf of the animals, many thanks to everyone who helped make the 3rd Annual PAWS Mutt Strut an incredible success! More than 1,000 people joined us at FDR Park, and we raised more than $110,000 for our efforts to save Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. Despite less than perfect weather, hundreds of dogs and the people who love them enjoyed a great day of activities, music, food, and fun for the whole family.
