Take a spring stroll to help homeless pets on May 2nd
The Dumb Friends League Furry Scurry dog walk returns to Washington Park for its 22nd year on Saturday, May 2. This Fido-friendly Colorado classic brings together thousands of pets and people for one common goal—to help homeless animals in our community.
Animal lovers and their dogs are invited to participate in a 2 mile walk, followed by refreshments, contests, demonstrations and more than 150 pet-related vendors and sponsors at the “Flealess Market,” featuring everything from the latest trends in pet toys to tasty fare from local food trucks.
Last year, the Dumb Friends League saved more than 17,500 homeless pets, many of which received vital medical care, behavior training and foster care. Funds raised at the event allow the Dumb Friends League to continue to open its doors to any animal in need.
“Our mission is to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves,” said Bob Rohde, president and CEO of the Dumb Friends League. “The generous support of our community through events like the Furry Scurry is what allows us to be a voice for the animals and make a difference in the lives of homeless pets.”
Registration is $50 per person, $25 for children 12 and younger, and includes an event T-shirt. Register as an individual or form a team. Register at FurryScurry.org, at any shelter location, or on event day starting at 7 a.m. The walk begins at 9 a.m.
Participants are encouraged to collect additional donations from friends, family and co-workers to help make an even bigger difference for homeless pets. Great incentives fit for pet lovers for those who fundraise above and beyond their $50 registration fee.
