Strut Your Mutt: The Race to End Animal Cruelty
- Get your crew together and create a team to join us at Strut Your Mutt! When gathering a team at Strut Your Mutt, your support provides critical funds to investigate more than 1,300 cases of animal cruelty each year, which helps more than 2,000 animals be freed from abuse. Your support ensures that those animals receive the essential medical care and behavioral support they deserve through the SPCA of Texas. Hurting a vulnerable animal isn't just despicable – it's a crime. And people who hurt animals don't stop with animals; there is often a link between abuse toward animals escalating to violence towards children and the elderly. YOU can disrupt this vicious cycle of abuse by helping to stop cruelty where it often starts: with animals. Address: Getzendaner Memorial Park, 400 S Grand Ave , Waxahachie, Texas |
