Mutt Strutt

Calling all dog lovers and anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of our beloved canine companions. The Yacolt Mutt Strut is the ultimate celebration of all things dog. Come together as a community and raise funds for the Humane Society SW!

Picture a vibrant parade of wagging tails. as we embark on a scenic walk through the beautiful town of Yacolt.  Does  not matter if you are a proud pup owner, dog lover, or someone who wants to participate to support a great cause, then this event is for you!

At the heart of this event lies a story of compassion and support. It all started with an local non-profit called the Church of Pug. They are remarkable organization dedicated to helping dogs in need. They very generously donated a wheelchair to my beloved furry friend Charlie when he was in need of help being mobile due to old age and bad genetics. Charlie was the most lovable dog ever. When I say lovable we always joke that he got two hearts because he loves any and all with an unconditional love that is palpable. The last year of his life that little man faced mobility challenges that affected his quality of life. The Church of Pug recognized stepped in and helped as soon as the request for help was made. They did so without question, and with so much compassion and knowledge on how to help him.  Their act of kindness provided Charlie with the means to move when he couldn't, but it also inspired this whole event. The way they showed compassion and support without questions was unbelievable and it has launched this whole event. This year our focus is a little different this year with HSSW being the benefactor, but now you know how and why this event got started.

On August 24th, 2024 at 10am we will start at the Yacolt Recreational Park we will head over to the Yacolt Town Park loop back to the Yacolt Recreational Park. When we return to the park participants will be greeted with a warm welcome from our local vendors and sponsors who have joined forces to help make this event truly unforgettable. From the local vendors offering unique products, to giant yard games, and delicious beverages to enjoy there will be something for everyone on the day of the event.

For those who prefer a more relaxed experience The Yacolt Recreational Park will be a great gathering spot. Here friends and family who do not wish to walk or run can join in the festivities. With shaded areas, restrooms, and plenty of space for everyone to mingle, it is the ideal spot to cheer everyone on and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

Everyone is encouraged to participate. This event is not just for dog owners it is for anyone who wants to celebrate the love and joy that our furry friends bring to our lives. Mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and get ready to strut your mutt at the 2nd annual Yacolt Mutt Strut.
