Third Annual PAWS Mutt Strut

Photos from the Third Annual Mutt Strut, Saturday October 31th, 2009

Join The Monster Minders as we raise money to save Philadelphia's homeless, abandoned and unwanted animals. The Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is a no-kill rescue organization dedicated to saving the most vulnerable animals in the City's animal control shelter. It is Philadelphia's largest rescue partner and is working to make the city a place in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.

For the second year, Team Monster Minders was the number 1 fundraising team for the annual Mutt Strut. We set our goal to $5000 for Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society and we beat it, brining in over $6100 for our favorite no-kill rescue group. We also held a “Blanket Bliss” fundraiser and facilitated the donation of 48 fleece blankets to PAWS from our booth. Thanks to all who participated.

Thanks also go out to our many generous donors who made the day possible, the Minders and clients who sloshed through the mud and rain, and the wonderful people at PAWS who continue to save thousands of Philly’s homeless pets each year. We are proud to be a part of this!

From all of us here at Team Monster Minders and the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society we would like to thank those who donated to our team. The 30,000 pets that PAWS takes in each year depend on the generous donations of animal lovers like you! With your help Team Monster Minders was the #1 fundraising team and brought in $3,770!

We also held another Bubble Trouble Fundraising drive at the Mutt Strut and facilitated the donation 60 bottles of detergent to the shelter on behalf of participating “strutters.” Thanks go out to all who participated!
