By Mutt Mulligan Happy tails from TurfMutt’s MUTT MADNESS event
Several rescue dogs were adopted at TurfMutt’s MUTT MADNESS adoption event last week. The event was at the annual GIE+EXPO, the largest trade show for outdoor power equipment, lawn and garden equipment, light construction and landscape industries.
Held in partnership with the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) and GIE+EXPO, last week’s MUTT MADNESS event offered an opportunity for rescue dogs to find their fur-ever homes from among the 24,000 show attendees.
The event took the definition of “show dog” to a whole new level. The industry “outsiders” not only love the outdoors, but they also love animals. So MUTT MADNESS was a natural fit. After all, who knows your yard the best? Your dog! And it’s the contractors, manufacturers and landscapers who attend GIE+EXPO who make our yards possible. It was a win-win.
In addition to hosting the event, TurfMutt also donated a $10,000 check to the KHS. The money will help support their work in animal rehabilitation, rescue, and adoption.
