Join us in celebrating the 20th anniversary of
Mutt Strut— the Quincy Humane Society’s largest
fundraiser of the year! This year’s event will be
held on Saturday, October 4th from 10am until 1pm
at South Park on 12th and Harrison.
Our theme this year is “Bark to the Future”! Dress
your dog up in your favorite past, future or movie
themed costume and join us for food, contests,
activities, vendors and more!
Fundraising for the Future
THE GOAL IS TO RAISE MONEY! Mutt Strut is the
Quincy Humane Society’s biggest fundraiser of
the year. As a privately funded organization, we do
not receive government assistance. We rely on
contributions from our community and fundraisers
like Mutt Strut to continue helping homeless animals as well as offering our low-cost spay/neuter
and vaccination clinics.
HOW CAN YOU HELP? Fundraise, fundraise, fundraise!!! Use the pledge form to track your progress.
There are a number of ways that you can help to
extend our reach and change the lives of more
animals than ever. We encourage you to get creative! Use social media to solicit pledges, put out
donation jars, host fundraisers at restaurants or
participate in our letter campaign. Not only will
your fundraising help homeless animals but our
top fundraisers have the chance of winning one of
3 grand prizes!
TURN IN YOUR PLEDGES: Be sure to bring your
pledge form with you when you register the day of
or during pre-registration at Petco.
