WEEKEND ALERT: 2016 Mutt Strut

by Posted on

Like exercising, walking, dogs, raising money for a good cause? If so, get your ass and your pooch to the Navy Yard this Saturday for the 10th Annual PAWS Mutt Strut.

This is truly a great event in the city. You spend the morning at the Navy Yard with your four-legged best friend, take a organized walk around the Yard, and then hang out with like-minded dog lovers and other dogs. All money raised goes to the PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) which does great work in the city regarding homeless dogs and spay/neutering.

The event has a scenic walk, live music, costume contests, agility courses, a talent contest, photo booth, grooming and more. Most importantly, there will be dogs available for adoption! All of this fun for a mere $25 that goes toward good dog work in the city.

If you want to join in the fun but don’t have a dog, you can rent a dog for an additional fee. I’m guessing and hoping that these will be shelter dogs that could use the much-needed exercise and human interaction.

Should be a nice fall day with only a 20% chance of rain. You have no excuse. If you dig dogs, there’s not a better way to spend your morning with your pooch.
