PAWS CELEBRATES 10TH ANNUAL MUTT STRUT
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2016 – THE NAVY YARD
PAWS is excited to celebrate its 10th Annual Mutt Strut on Saturday, October 22, 2016 where dogs and the people who love them will enjoy a fall festival and walk the scenic route in the Navy Yard. Last year’s Mutt Strut raised nearly $120,000 for PAWS’ lifesaving efforts. PAWS is Philadelphia’s largest no-kill shelter and operates two low-cost spay/neuter and wellness clinics for pet owners who cannot otherwise afford veterinary care.
