Strut Your Mutt for a Cause

Bring your best friend to Strut Your Mutt: Enjoy a leisurely fundraising dog walk with (or without) your dog, followed by a doggie-themed festival that includes pet contests, photos, doggie goodies, fun activities for you and your furry friend, food, refreshments and more, all for a great cause - helping homeless pets.

One local team you can consider joining is K-9 Angels Rescue, a dog rescue group located in the West U area, which has saved more than 2,100 dogs from shelters and from the streets over the past few years. K-9 Angels is an all-breed, all-condition rescue group and the money they raise will be used to continue to grow their adoptions programs and spay/neuter services.

K-9 Angels is particularly close to my heart, since that’s where my husband and I adopted our sweet pup, Yogi, from just about a year ago.

See information about joining K-9 Angels Strut Your Mutt team. Last year, K-9 Angels raised more than $68,000, coming in second in overall fundraised among all of the Houston rescues that participated. 

Plus, learn more about becoming a foster. K-9 Angels is a 100 percent volunteer- and foster-run nonprofit and they’re always seeking additional foster homes to be able to save more dogs. All K-9 Angels dogs stay with foster homes during the week and are available for adoption every Saturday and Sunday at 5533 Weslayan.
