While the needs of every animal the Michigan Humane Society cares for are different, on average it costs MHS $120 to change the life of one animal in need.




Animals like Eddie, who was found severely malnourished and abandoned in Detroit. He was recued by MHS, entered the foster care program for treatment and recuperation and eventually was placed up for adoption where he found a loving Grosse Pointe family.

Join hundreds of animal lovers at the 2010 Mutt March to help the more than 100,000 animals the Michigan Humane Society cares for each year. Gather your family, friends and canine companions, collect donations and enjoy a scenic walk, jog or stroll of up to five miles. If your dog will be walking with you, be sure to bring his current vaccination records.

Register, create your own web page, form teams, and solicit donations online! Click on one of the links to the right to get started today.

All walkers who turn in donations of $150 or more at the event will receive an official Mutt March T-shirt. Raise $300 or more and you'll also receive a set of MHS water bottles - one for you and one for your pet. All four-legged walkers will receive a Mutt March bandana.

The Mutt March tradition began in 1989 in memory of a well-respected volunteer and board member, Laura Lee Greer, and has raised thousands of dollars to support the Michigan Humane Society’s many life-saving programs and services.

We’ll see you at the Mutt March!
