  • March Muttness is a play on the “March Madness” basketball tournaments, repurposed for a charitable cause aimed at helping homeless pets. A fundraising event designed to raise awareness and money to support the needs of homeless pets at the shelter. These funds can provide for various needs, including medical care, food, and shelter to pets waiting for adoption.
  • Events like March Muttness often bring communities together to support a common cause and can significantly increase the visibility and adoption rates of shelter pets!
