We Came. We Wagged. We Raised Over $54,000 at Mutt Strut!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 15th Annual Mutt Strut! With your support, we raised over $54,000 to fund Hand in Paw’s Animal-Assisted Therapy Programs across Central Alabama and Tuscaloosa. From the 5K run to the costume contest and photo ops with Spot, the day was full of joy and community spirit. Huge thanks to our Junior Board and sponsors for making this event possible!
