Strut Your Mutt Offers Local Group Chance to Raise Funds

Much Love Animal Rescue is in the process of its biggest fundraising effort of the year, and Patch readers can help.

Even those who offer help, sometimes need it.

Right now, Much Love Animal Rescue is asking for your help during the Best Friends Strut Your Mutt LA fundraising event on Sept. 24, at Pan Pacific Park. Much Love, a westside rescue group, is almost half-way to its fundraising goal of $50,000, and it is asking for the help of its friends in Venice to reach that goal.

Much Love has placed thousands of animals into loving homes in the Los Angeles area since 1999.  Volunteers go into local city and county shelters bi-monthly and rescue as many cats and dogs as the group can afford. After giving these dogs and cats the care they need (medical, behavioral, and social), volunteers bring them to the in Venice and Santa Monica to find them forever homes.

Much Love keeps the pets for weeks, months, or even years, until a suitable home is found.

The funds raised at Strut Your Mutt are crucial for Much Love to be able to rescue even more animals in 2011.  This is the groups's main fundraising event for the year.

To help, you can either create your own fundraising page for Much Love and reach out to your friends and family for donations or donate to one of our Pack Members - like Sardinia the 'Pack Leader.' That handsome, 3-legged pup will appreciate any donation big or small to support his Much Love pals (and he desperately needs a home, too!)

Much Love is a 501c3 non-profit, volunteer run organization.  All of the funds raised go towards animal care.

For more information about Much Love, visit www.muchlove.org, or go visit the animals at a weekend mobile adoption at the corner of Abbot Kinney and Venice boulevards.

Thank you for your support!
