CAPE MAY – Dog lovers, mark your calendar! The 5th Annual Mutt Strut is slated for Saturday, September 17 (rain date Sunday) on Cape May’s beachfront promenade. This event, popular with locals and visitors alike, brings together dog owners and their canine companions for an enjoyable beachfront strut. Registration is required to allow dogs on the Promenade and is held near the Convention Hall site on Beach Avenue beginning at 8 am. The event takes place from 8 am to noon.
A donation of $1 per leg ($2/person, $4/dog) helps build the planned Animal Outreach Shelter and supports area dog training and canine community programs of the event’s sponsor, Cape May County Dog Obedience Training Club (CMCDOTC). This is a fun family event with door prizes, giveaways, auction and children’s activity table, along with educational materials on dog ownership, training and animal adoption. Come ! Enjoy the fun. And if you have no paws come and support a good cause.
The Mutt Strut is being held as part of the American Kennel Club (AKC) Responsible Dog Ownership Days, with over 500 events held in the US last year. According to AKC “this nationwide initiative educates the public about the importance of being a responsible dog owner and celebrates the deep bond between humans and their canine companions.”
