Happy National Mutt Day from the TurfMutt Foundation spokesdog, Mutt Mulligan (a.k.a. Mo-Mo)! National Mutt Day is celebrated twice a year – on July 31 and Dec. 2 – as a way to embrace, save and celebrate mixed breed dogs.
We may be a little biased, but Mo-Mo is our favorite mixed breed dog.
Mo-Mo, who was abandoned along with her siblings, was rescued by the Kentucky Humane Society and adopted by TurfMutt Foundation president, Kris Kiser, in Louisville, Ky., during Lucky’s Mutt Madness.
Mutt Madness is the national dog adoption event that takes place during GIE+EXPO, the international landscape, outdoor living and equipment exposition. Mulligan and 14 other dogs were adopted at the event. The Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) and GIE+EXPO partner with the TurfMutt Foundation on Lucky’s Mutt Madness.
Watch this video to learn more about how M0-Mo became the voice of TurfMutt.
Mo-Mo fills the cape left behind by Lucky the original TurfMutt, another mixed breed rescue pup who served as the organization’s superhero voice for a decade.
The TurfMutt Foundation promotes environmental stewardship and its program has inspired millions of kids, families and teachers to become backyard superheroes by creating and sustaining suburban and urban habitat, parks, sports fields, and other green spaces.
