Animal-welfare group The Dumb Friends League lapped up more than $940,000 for homeless animals at the 23rd annual Furry Scurry on Saturday morning.
Roughly 10,000 people and 5,000 dogs came to Denver’s Washington Park to participate in the 2-mile walk that raises money for the group.
“This community is the cornerstone of our work to change the lives of homeless pets,” group president and CEO Bob Rohde said in a news release. “Only together can we achieve our goal of ending pet homelessness and animal suffering.”
The Dumb Friends League took in more than 20,000 homeless pets last year. In addition to finding homes for pets, the agency also offers foster care, behavior training, animal-welfare investigations, lost and found assistance, and spay and neuter services for cats and dogs in underserved areas of metro Denver.
People can donate the Furry Scurry effort through June 7. Go to .
