STRUT YOUR MUTT - 25th Anniversary - June 2nd

Please join us at Strut Your Mutt on Saturday, June 2, 2018 as we celebrate 25 years of promoting awareness, creating memories, and raising funds.  Strut Your Mutt is one of the only dog friendly walks in the tri-state area; however, you do not need to bring a mutt to strut with us in Murphy Park!  

Pet related business will be handing out samples, doing demonstrations, and getting to know the pet owners in our community.  There will be an agility course and a radar run for the animals!  Come have some fun with the DRHS!

Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is a time-honored tradition in many households, but be sure to keep all cleaners and chemicals out of your pets' way! Almost all cleaning products, even all natural ones, contain chemicals that may be harmful to pets. The key to using them safely is to read and follow label directions for proper use and storage.
