Who benefits from the proceeds of the Mutt Strut?
100% of the proceeds benefit the Greenville Humane Society. GHS is one of the largest no-kill facilities in the Southeast and finds homes for over 6,000 animals annually. The money raised from this event will go towards sheltering, feeding and vaccinating all of our animals, as well as providing medicine for sick animals in our foster program.
I have offline pledges/donations that I would like to enter. How do I do that?
You can mail checks to our facility, but please drop off cash donations in person.
