Strut Your Stuff for Shelter Pets on May 17th!

Every year at the Music City Mutt Strutt, people and pooches alike gather to strut their stuff to save the lives of homeless and at-risk shelter pets! All money raised through Mutt Strutt enables Nashville Humane to provide care, love, and attention to animals in Nashville, Middle Tennessee, and beyond. Mutt Strutt is a 5K or 1 mile fun run, walk or strut. And the best part? Registration is just a $30 donation to NHA!

For the most enjoyable experience, please remember these points:

  • Bring your animal only if they enjoy being around other animals and people.
  • Animals must be leashed at all times.
  • Please refrain from using retractable leashes if possible. They are dangerous for you, your pet, and others!
  • Please be prepared to clean up after your animal.
  • Water will be provided for animals and walkers throughout the day.
