PAWS Mutt Strut Moved to RAIN DATE Sunday Oct 8th
The 17th Annual PAWS Mutt Strut is this SUNDAY! Have you registered? This is PAWS’ biggest fundraiser. Right now donations are being matched, so even more of a reason to sign up today.
Here’s BEN FM’s Fundraising page. << Register to join us, and please donate if you can.
There have been 17 PAWS Mutt Struts, and I think I’ve been to 16 of the 17. I was even there in person for their virtual strut. It would take a lot for me to miss this event. Even after the event is over – I spend the rest of the year pulling up all the cute dog photos on my phone until the next Mutt Strut rolls around. (Those are posted below, btw.) It’s essentially a carnival for dogs and dog lovers. Super fun, super cute, and it benefits a super incredible organization. What more could you want?
MOVED TO RAIN DATE, Sunday, October 8th, 2023 at the Philadelphia Navy Yard
10am to 2pm
Check-in opens 10am, Start strutting at 11am!
Plenty of free parking!
4747 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19112
Where does the money raised go?
Glad you asked. PAWS operates out of 3 locations. Their PAWS Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinic In Grays Ferry, their original PAWS Adoption Center in Old City, and their PAWS Northeast Adoption Center and Clinic. They offer low-cost spay/neuter and care for thousands of animals and are working to make Philadelphia a no-kill city. Can’t think of a better mission for an animal lover.
The money raised will benefit Philadelphia’s most vulnerable pets, and every dollar raised goes directly to PAWS. If you’re able, please help PAWS save and serve the four-legged friends who need us most: fragile kittens, ailing seniors, pets with special medical needs, and dogs, cats, and small animals with nowhere else to turn. Just sign up for the walk, raise money, and then join us in person on October 8th.
Did I mention all the dogs in costume?
Yeah. Lots of em’. BEN FM runs the Doggie Halloween Costume Contest! We’ll be there, taking all of your super creative costume entries, and awarding some great prizes too. We have categories for every kind of dog and every kind of costume. Small dogs, large dogs, puppies, seniors, best sports costumes, scariest, and even tastiest. (There are usually a lot of hotdog costumes.) Even if you don’t dress up your dog, or even bring a dog, all the cuties in the costume contest will be worth venturing out that morning. Give your Instagram followers a thrill.

Besides the walk itself, and the costume contest, there are a bunch of other activities for both humans and canines alike.
Plus:
- Live music
