Mutt Strut 2025
The Mutt Strut is the must-attend fall festival for dogs and the people who love them!
Join PAWS at The Navy Yard on Saturday, October 4 for a scenic walk and family-friendly festival with plenty of fun for humans and dogs alike. Enjoy activities and games, a canine costume contest, agility course, adoptable dogs, dozens of vendors, food trucks, live music, a beer garden with Dock Street Brewing, and so much more, all to raise lifesaving funds for Philadelphia’s pets!
As the city’s largest rescue partner and provider of affordable veterinary care, PAWS is working to make Philadelphia a no-kill city where every savable pet is guaranteed a home. Each year, the Mutt Strut raises over $120,000 for PAWS’ lifesaving efforts.
