We’re thrilled to share that we’ll be joining the 19th Annual PAWS Mutt Strut as proud event sponsors! This beloved Philadelphia tradition brings together dog lovers from all over the city for a fun-filled day to celebrate how awesome PAWS is. (WE LOVE PAWS!) With oodles of adoptable dogs on-site, it's going to be a whole lot of CUTE! There will be photo booths, a costume contest, freebies and food trucks!

🐾 Free PUP CUPS!

We’ll be serving up pup cups with fun and healthy toppings—think dog bones, crunchy carrots, juicy blueberries, and sweet dried bananas. It’s our way of treating your pups while we all strut together in support of PAWS. (Minders Everest and Shannon will be working the booth with us. Swing by our tent to say hello!)

Why PAWS Matters

The Mutt Strut isn’t just a day of fun—it’s a chance to support the incredible work that PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) does year-round. PAWS is the city’s largest rescue partner, dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s most vulnerable animals through adoption, foster care, low-cost veterinary services, and community programs. Their commitment to keeping pets healthy, safe, and loved has transformed countless lives—both animal and human.

For us, this cause is personal. Our beloved late dog Jax (below) was a proud PAWS alum, and our current pup, Tui, was neutered at PAWS through their veterinary partnership with Street Tails Animal Rescue. We’ve seen firsthand the compassion, dedication, and expertise that PAWS brings to every animal who walks through their doors, and we are so grateful they’re part of our community.

Join the Strut!

Whether you’re walking with your pup, cheering from the sidelines, or just stopping by to grab a pup cup, the Mutt Strut is an amazing way to celebrate the joy of rescue and give back to an organization that makes Philadelphia a better place for pets. We can’t wait to see you—and your dogs—out there. Don’t forget to swing by our booth for a pup cup and say hello!
