Take steps to save animals in need!
This year COVID has put a huge hole in Motley Zoo's veterinary budget- taking tens of thousands away from the animals who need it most!
We need to make up for this huge budget deficit or we will not be able to save the animals who quite literally, have no one else...
Puppies like Ryan and Blake, whose mom was killing their siblings and who almost died themselves- or cats like Miracle Man, found in the road having seizures and near death.
Strut Your Mutt is the answer!
This is the one and only opportunity we have to make ends meet to cover our average $15,000/ month vet bills.
Without this, hundreds of animals will not be given the second chances they need to find loving homes.
We will have to say no to animals we know we could otherwise save, simply because the budget lacks funds.
As the organization who believes all animals are worth more then a vet bill, this is devastating to consider.
We have never let a lack of funds get in the way of our mission. However, this year it's different: the funds keep going out but they just are not coming in at the same rate...and it is only getting worse.
There has never been a more important time to make your effort count...because the only thing we truly need to make this an event a success for the animals is YOU.
What is Strut Your Mutt?
Strut Your Mutt is an "event- in- a- box" fun run sponsored by Best Friends Animal Society to support local, grassroots organizations like Motley Zoo!
This means ALL THE FUNDS RAISED FROM THE EVENT, GO DIRECTLY TO SUPPORT MZ's ANIMALS!
You don't even have to do anything out of the ordinary- even just the walks you take each day with your dog can make a huge difference to Motley Zoo's critical mission!
