Looking to help Tails even more? Share your fundraising page with your friends and family. The top fundraiser will nominate the 2019 Master of Ceremonies. The MC is featured on the website, t-shirt (as a caricature) and will 'lead the charge' on race day. Plus the money you raise will help even more animals in need!

Threatening Weather Conditions
For the safety of the participants Mutt Strut may be canceled if there is inclement weather. No refunds will be provided, since funds were already spent in preparation for race day. However, participants will be able to pick up their t-shirts and swag bags. In the event of threatening weather and cancellation, announcements will be made via the Tails Humane Society Facebook page and participant provided emails.
