Furry Scurry: A short walk can help thousands of animals in need!

Walk, run or scurry to register for Colorado’s favorite dog walk and fun run, the Dumb Friends League Furry Scurry. Join thousands of fellow animal lovers on May 4 and make a difference in the lives of homeless pets and horses.

A classic Colorado event, the Furry Scurry combines activities Coloradans love – exercise, the outdoors and quality time with their canine companions. Participants and their pups will enjoy a two-mile walk or fun run around beautiful Wash Park, followed by food trucks, contests, dog demonstrations and the Flealess Market—where you can treat yourself or your furry friends to goodies from pet-related vendors and sponsors.

Registration for the Furry Scurry is $50 per person and $25 for kids 12 and under and includes a Furry Scurry event T-shirt and walk participation bib. Participants can register as an individual, form a team or join a team. Registration is easy and convenient at furryscurry.org.

Participants are encouraged to make an even bigger difference in the lives of homeless pets and horses by collecting donations from friends, family and co-workers. Those who raise money above and beyond their registration fee will be eligible to receive fundraising incentives.

“When you register and fundraise for Furry Scurry, you are directly impacting the lives of pets and horses in need,” said Dr. Apryl Steele, president and CEO of the Dumb Friends League. “Money raised helps us provide medical care to sick and injured animals, behavior training that allows pets to be adopted more quickly, investigations of animal neglect and mistreatment and supports our overall mission to end pet homelessness and animal suffering.”
