Distemper & Canine Parvovirus vaccinations are highly recommended. Dogs with a recent positive fecal should not attend. Please leave dogs in heat at home. Keep aggressive & overly
timid dogs at home.
And here are some reminders for the you, as the pup’s owner: One handler per dog. No retractable leashes (maximum length 6-feet). Owners must clean up after their
dogs. Observe your dog for heat exhaustion
Create a Pack!
We challenge you to create a Pack and fundraise for the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast at this year's Mutt March and help us save more lives than ever before! For those who might be
wondering, a "Pack" is a fundraising team comprised of two (2) or more individuals who pledge to raise a minimum of $100 for the HSTC. Packs compete against each other to raise the most funds
for animals in our care while earning bragging rights for their teams. Create a pack HERE.
The Mutt March festival is FREE and open to the public from 10 am to 2 pm.
Pre-registration for the 5k is now closed. Packet pickup for runners will take place before the race on Saturday, March 23, starting at 8 am. Onsite registration will also be available. The
race will start at 9 am sharp. This is a rain or shine event.
