The Mutt Strut is a dog- and family-friendly event for all two- and four- legged participants on Saturday, December 5th.
This event coincides with the Main x 24 Christmas celebration and the Downtown Starlight Parade and will consist of two walks to raise donations to benefit DoGood Chattanooga, an advocacy group of volunteers working with the city to promote responsible dog ownership and to open public areas to be more accessible to dogs.
Registration
All walkers are asked to donate at least $15 p/dog which includes admission into both the afternoon and evening Mutt Strut. The first 100 registered will receive a DoGood Chattanooga t-shirt. Everyone is asked to dress themselves and their pooch in festive Christmas attire! All participants are asked to bring necessary clean-up bags for the festivities in order to keep with the DoGood philosophy of responsible dog ownership. Also, we will gladly accept any unwanted grocery bags that people would like to donate in order to replenish the doggie clean up stations in Ross’ Landing.
