Pet races, or the “Running of the Dogs,” begin at 11 a.m. and include the Dachshund Dash and Pug Chug. Dog showcases include Best Vocals, Best Dressed Dog and Toilet Paper Leash Obstacle Course.
Each dog at Mutt Strut gets a free commemorative bandana.
Also, free microchips will be administered from 10 a.m. to noon to the first 200 Snohomish County resident dogs or cats. Cats must be in a carrier; dogs must be on a leash.
Mutt Strut activities include a community dog walk, displays, lectures, competitions and prizes. A variety of dogs and cats from shelters from around the state will be on hand to find permanent homes for pets in need.
