All Proceeds Benefit Animal Care Sanctuary, which is in its 48th year of operation, caring for animals that have found themselves without a home. ACS cares for 500 animals on a daily basis, provides adoption services, and a low cost spay/ neuter veterinary clinic.
The Mutt Strut is their largest fundraising event of the year. Their goal is to raise $20,000 in support of their mission to promote the welfare of companion animals in the community. ACS relies on the funds raised in order to conduct operations, as it does not receive subsidies of any kind.
Get involved by registering for the walk or sponsor the event. Registration can be completed online at www.animalcaresanctuary.org or by calling (570) 596-2200.
