Calling good boys and girls
FOURWAYS – Does your dog have the waggiest tail? The cutest trick? Or the biggest smile? Participate in the upcoming Dogtown SA Strutt Your Mutt event and find out.
Dogtown South Africa, supported by Montego Pet Nutrition (Montego), will host its 3rd annual Strutt Your Mutt event on 7 September to raise money for dogs who have yet to find forever homes.
Dogtown SA is an animal rehabilitation sanctuary situated near the Hennops River, for dogs who have lost their homes or have been rescued from dire situations. The popular Strutt Your Mutt fundraising event will see animal lovers (and their rescued pets) get together for a day of fun, laughs and pup pageantry to raise money for this worthy cause. Pageant categories will include Wiggliest Bum, Biggest Smile, Cutest Trick, Mr, and Miss Rescue, as well as the overall Dogtown SA Spring Champion. Winners will be chosen based on enthusiasm and best participation on the day, and pet owners are invited to enter their rescue animal for the small entry fee of R50 per category.
The day’s activities will also include the unveiling of the first phase of Dogtown SA’s newest outdoor venue structure, made possible by Montego’s continued support and involvement with the organisation. The structure creates an outdoor space that will be used to host events, training seminars, and the 2019 edition of Strutt Your Mutt – all while generating income for the organisation.
The pageant competition will be judged by celebrities and Dogtown SA ambassadors Al Prodgers and Mary-Ann Barlow, as well as a final surprise judge who will be announced closer to the time.
“The 2018 Strutt Your Mutt was a huge success with over 40 rescued dogs – many of which were ex-Dogtown residents – taking part in the various pageant categories,” said Tracy McQuarrie, founder of Dogtown SA. “We’re hoping to see many more take part in 2019, while unveiling our new structure to all present.”
Strutt Your Mutt will take place on 7 September at Dogtown SA from 10am to 3pm and entries can be emailed to Mayuree (mayuree@dogtownsa.org). Details: Dogtown SA Facebook page.
