Pet owners and their dogs will be out in full force for the upcoming Mutt Strutt and Dog Day Afternoon.
The Montgomery County Humane Society's 13th annual one-mile pledge walk will be held from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Oct. 27 at Town Green Park, rain or shine.
The pledge walk is followed by a day of fun and games, pet adoptions, artwork, food and drinks, entertainment and demonstrations.
"They have changed venues several times," said Skeeter Hubert, event chairman. "Last year they moved it to Town Green Park. It has done well each year."
Proceeds from the event traditionally go toward supporting the nonprofit humane society initiatives that include shelter, care, adoptions, spay/neuter programs and community education for pets. Funds generated at this year's event will be used by the humane society to build a new facility, pay operation expenses and help generate interest in animal adoption, Hubert said.
