Wayside Waifs – Strutt With Your Mutt

The 34th annual Strutt With Your Mutt was a fun, furry, and festive way to raise funds to support rescue and care for the homeless animals at Wayside Waifs. The September 29th event featured lots of tail wagging in celebration of the organization’s 80th anniversary!
