LONGVIEW, Texas (KETK) – Longview Paws is inviting dog owners from across East Texas to come out for their biggest fundraiser of the year on Saturday.
The nonprofit Longview Paws is hosting the 9th annual Strut Your Mutt 1 Mile Wag Walk as a family-friendly way to support Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center’s mission of taking care of local pets.
On top of being described by promoters as the largest dog party in East Texas, the event will also feature many food trucks, more than 40 vendors and a special dog-friendly ball pit.
“For us, it’s the biggest Saturday morning of the year. We feel like our tagline has been this is the biggest dog party in East Texas,” Longview Paws executive director Jackie Reynold said. “You’re not going to find this many dog lovers in one place. It’s just a great experience to be able to see that many dogs in one spot and with the backdrop being the shelter, it just really kind of highlights the bond between humans and their animals.”
The walk will start at the Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center, 303 H G Mosley Pkwy, at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 28. Registration for the walk cost $12 per dog and includes an event t-shirt and a dog bandanna.
