Success at 6th Annual Strut Your Mutt |
|
|
Over 50 dogs and their humans strutted their stuff in Washington Depot on August 24 to support Greenwoods' Financial Assistance Fund. All dogs lined up for a welcome parade and then the contests began: Agility; Beauty; and a fantastic Fashion Finale! Thanks to all our participants and sponsors, and especially to lead sponsors Marty's, National Iron Bank, The Entrepreneur's Source, and SoberStay, Greenwoods raised $12,000 to ensure that anyone who needs mental healthcare can access and afford it.
Mark your calendars: Strut Your Mutt will return August 2026! |
