6th Annual Mutt Strut hosted by Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation

2009-08-21T07:27:00.001-07:00

It’s that time of year again where Chicagoans strut their stuff for charity at the Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation’s 6th Annual Mutt Strut! On Saturday, September 12th, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., dog lovers and their four-legged friends are invited for a 1.5 mile walk plus a block party with food, entertainment and more!

In Roscoe Village along Hoyne Avenue, between Belmont and Melrose (by Beat Kitchen), experience this all ages event and end-of-the-summer stroll with your pup! Priced at $35 per person (before 9/1, $40 after), participants can get some exercise and then relax with a post-walk BBQ (kids and dogs are free). After lunch, enjoy music, children’s activities, demonstrations, plus sales on both canine and human merchandise at neighborhood shops. Patrons will also have a chance to meet adoptable dogs from CCRF! Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. and the walk is scheduled at 11:30 a.m., shine only.

The mission of CCRF is to save the lives of companion animals by decreasing the thousands of abuses and euthanizations in Chicago through the rescue and adoption of dogs and cats. This event is a fundraising opportunity benefiting CCRF and donations are greatly appreciated!

Please join us at the 6th Annual Mutt Strut and help find families for homeless pooches…maybe you’ll even welcome home a new furry addition to your family! The Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation was founded in 2001 to help find permanent, loving homes for homeless dogs in Chicago. In just over five years, CCRF has saved the lives of over 2,000 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies. CCRF assists animals that are the MOST vulnerable in Chicago - the dogs and cats that are slated for euthanasia because they are too old, too young, too injured, have disabilities, or have simply been overlooked for too long by potential adopters at other shelters. Over 20,000 animals are euthanized in Chicago each year. For more information, please contact Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation at 312-371-7827 or visit www.chicagocaninerescue.org.

WhiteXchange.com, an online extension of White Chicago in River North, is encouraging newlyweds to pass on the love and recoup some of the wedding costs by giving their gown another chance to walk down the aisle. During the month of August, whiteXchange.com is hosting "Consign & Dine," an annual month-long promotion that gives a "complimentary dinner for two" to any bride who consigns her once-wed gown online or in-store.

Courtesy of Scoozi! (410 W. Huron), LEYE's Neighborhood Italian Restaurant in River North, the first 20 brides to consign their gown will receive a $75 gift certificate (excluding tax and gratuity). By consigning, they will not only make another bride happy, but can "wine & dine" their new groom too! So c'mon ladies, "Consign & Dine" this August and enjoy a romantic dinner for two at Scoozi!
