Lake Humane Society is inviting all animal lovers to come out to Penitentiary Glen Reservation in Kirtland on Aug. 21 for Mutt Strut 2010.

This is the 16th year for this annual pledge walk. Each walker is asked to register and ask for pledges, with proceeds going to the support of the Lake Humane Society.
Mutt Strut begins at 9:30 a.m., rain or shine. Participants will be walking with their dogs over a half-mile course.

Willing, happy shelter dogs will be available to accompany walkers who do not bring a dog of their own.

Following the walk will be games, contests, shopping, food and fun — all for the good of the Lake Humane Shelter animals.

Last year, 300 people participated and raised $15,000 for the shelter.

This year’s goal is to raise $20,000.

To register in advance or for more information, contact Lake Humane Society at 440-951-6122.
