Checker's Mutt Strut and Charity Bike Ride--Saturday, April 10, 2010
Strut for the Mutts or Pedal for the Pets
You can help save the lives of homeless animals. Every step or pedal will make a huge difference in the life of a pet at the Shelley Frith Drane Adoption Center. Your support of this event will help us care for the over 2,000 animals that we place into permanent, loving homes each year. Plus the Mutt Strut and Bike Ride is lots of fun for people and pets! Registered participants are eligible to receive goodies including t-shirts, refreshments and dog bandanas.

HOW YOU HELP!
This past year, nearly 2,000 animals in our care were given a second chance at new and loving homes. Thanks to generous people like you who share our passion for animals, the Martinsville-Henry County SPCA (SPCAMHC) has not only been able to find new homes for thousands of animals, but also been able to provide affordable, accessible low cost spay/neuter services to over 2,100 families in need every year.
The Martinsville-Henry County SPCA is a private, non-profit organization not affiliated with any national group that shares a similar name. We are only able to help because of the generous support of people like you in our community. We rely 100% on donations from people and companies who care.
The Martinsville-Henry County SPCA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people and animals in our community. We have The Shelley Frith Drane Adoption Center where 2,000 animals are received, rehabilitated and rehomed annually. We provide low cost spay/neuter/rabies vaccines opportunities to citizens on any form of public assistance on a weekly basis. Humane Education and Pet Therapy is our all volunteer run program, visiting all area long term care facilities and schools monthly. Our SPCA is completely funded by people who love animals and want them to be healthy, happy and loved in return.
