Kelly Rush, Jay Lutz and Lisa Dockstader, Co-Chairs, 15th Annual Walk for Animals

The Mower County Humane Society held its 15th Annual Walk for Animals on Sept. 11. We thank everyone who helped make it a success either by collecting pledges, by making a donation or by volunteering at the event. Because of your generosity, $24,300 was raised to help in the expense of saving abandoned pets.

We would like to acknowledge the following: Austin Bruins Hockey, Casey’s General Store, The Portrait Shoppe, Pawsh Styling Spaw and Boutique, Marriott Depot Hotel/Water Park, Echo Lanes, Steve’s Pizza, Cinemagic 7, HyVee, Robert’s Specialty, Diamond Ridge Printing, Rent N Save, Austin Vet Clinic, Austin Public Library, Double K Specialty, Austin Park and Rec, Dawn-the Duct Tape Artist, Rita Klassen, Don and Mona Rush, Sean Lutz, The Whites, Barry Rush and all the volunteers who helped the day of the event.

MCHS is an all volunteer organization — 100 percent of the money raised will go to reduce the number of abandoned pets in Mower County. To date, our expenses are $64,750. Our current pet count is 116 cats and 25 dogs. If you are looking for a neutered/spayed, current on vaccines, absolutely wonderful pet, consider the Mower County Humane Society.

Thanks for the support!
