There’s no place like home — and that’s true for pets in shelters, too. In fact, a dog or cat is killed in America’s shelters every 90 seconds just because they don’t have a safe place to call home.

When you participate in Strut Your Mutt, the money you raise, including your registration fee, goes directly to the animals of Best Friends or your favorite local participating animal welfare organization.

Every day, more than 1,000 dogs and cats are killed in shelters simply because they don’t have safe places to call home. But together, we can bring our best friends home and Save Them All.

When you choose to participate in Strut Your Mutt, you can support and raise funds for Best Friends or your favorite participating animal welfare organization. Every dollar raised goes directly toward helping homeless pets.

Participants in the 2024 Strut Your Mutt in Salt Lake City raised over $50,000.
