My personal message:

Join us as we raise money to save Philadelphia's homeless, abandoned and orphaned animals at the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). Receiving nearly 30,000 homeless, abandoned, and orphaned animals each year and seeing the highest volume of unwanted and unloved animals in the region, PAWS is working to end the killing of healthy and treatable pets in the City of Philadelphia.

On Saturday, October 25, we will participate in the PAWS Mutt Strut, which will bring animal lovers and their pets together for a 1.5-mile scenic walk through FDR Park. We will raise badly needed funds for PAWS’ lifesaving programs including adoption outreach, spay/neuter clinics, and low-cost vaccination services. We will also raise awareness of the harsh reality that thousands of healthy and treatable animals are killed in Philadelphia each year, simply because they do not have homes.

The Mutt Strut will offer us a day of companionship and celebration, and will enable PAWS to give countless more animals the chance to experience that companionship and safety for themselves. Please give whatever you can, and consider joining us on October 25!

You can help two ways:

1.  Donate.  To Donate, click the "Sponser Me Now"  below.

2.  Join our team and strut with your mutt (or rent a mutt if you're muttless!  Yes, you can rent a mutt for the day.) Joining is a snap. Just go to the BLUE bar at the top of this page and click on our team name, "Seger Park Dog Owners Association."

Thanks in advance for your donation!  The 30,000 pets in need can't do it without your help.
