Get Ready for Mutt Strut 2026!

NEW THIS YEAR: To simplify the check-in process, we encourage all guests to register before arriving. Once registered, you will receive information on how to submit your waiver online to save you time when you arrive at the event. You can register for this free event by clicking the 'Register Now & Support the Event' button.

You don't have to wait until event day to make a difference! There are easy ways you can support Lake Humane Society's biggest event of the year — all while making your experience smoother and more fun:

🐶 Start a Fundraising Team: Rally your friends, family, and fellow animal lovers by creating a peer-to-peer fundraising page. Every dollar raised helps save more lives and gets us one paw closer to our goal! The top fundraiser this year will have their pet featured in 2027 as our AmbassaDog.

🎟️ Grab Your 50/50 Raffle Tickets: You could be the lucky winner while helping animals in need. The more tickets you snag, the bigger the prize — and the bigger the impact. The winner will be announced live at the event on August 23. You do not have to be present to win.

🎁 Choose Your Mutt Bundle: We've put together some pawsome bundles filled with activity tickets, pet bandanas, exclusive t-shirts, and pet recognition yard signs. Not only do they show off your support, but they also make attending the event a breeze! Below is a sneak peek of the items available in the Mutt Bundles.

Note: August 6 is the cutoff to guarantee t-shirt sizing and allow enough time to order pet recognition yard signs. We will try our best to accommodate after that date. Please keep this in mind for the bundles that include a t-shirt or a pet recognition yard sign.

Pick up your bundle the week leading up to the event so you're all set for the big day — no waiting in line, just pure tail-wagging fun.
