From the Organizer

Join us for second annual Strut For Mutts 2026 (Minnesota), Rescue Network’s premier fundraising walk/run uniting animal lovers, adopters, and advocates in support of our life-saving mission. This uplifting community event celebrates the power of second chances while raising vital funds to support our growing rescue efforts.

In 2025 we had over 2,000 adoptions and over one million in vetting expenses and we anticipate 2026 numbers to be even higher. Every step you take at Strut For Mutts helps us provide medical care, shelter, and loving homes for animals in need. As we look ahead, we anticipate the remainder of 2026 to be our biggest and most impactful year yet - with more animals saved, more fosters recruited, and more lives changed.

Bring your furry companions**, your walking shoes, and your heart for rescue. Whether you're walking in memory of a beloved pet or celebrating your own adopted companion, your participation fuels hope, healing, and a future full of wagging tails.

Let’s strut, step by step, toward a better world for mutts.

**Dogs that are not aggressive toward people or other animals are welcomed on the almost 3K event. Dogs must be current on vaccines and always leashed (retractable leashes are prohibited)
