Denver Dumb Friends League raises $1 million


It was dog day in Washington Park! The Dumb Friends League hosted its 17th annual Furry Scurry, the largest dog walk in the nation, on May 1 and ended the day with a new record—raising more than $960,000 for homeless animals. The Dumb Friends League reached its $1 million goal by May 31.

More than 10,000 people and 5,000 dogs participated in the record-breaking fundraiser, which included a two-mile walk for animals. In addition to the walk, pet lovers had the opportunity to meet adoptable pets, watch demonstrations, enter in contests and shop for pet-friendly goods and services at the “Flea-less Market.”

The funds raised will help provide care for more than 25,000 cats, dogs and other small animals this year. In addition to adopting homeless pets, the League offers other services, including lost and found, humane education, behavior training, animal cruelty investigations and donor-subsidized spay/neuter surgeries for pets in underserved areas.
