Cat owners, don’t worry - you don’t have to bring a pet to participate.

The goal is to raise money to help support homeless pets in the area. This year, Mutt March aims to raise $100,000 for the cause. All proceeds will benefit animals at the Jacksonville Humane Society.

Beginning at 8 a.m., participants will take a scenic walk through the University of North Florida’s campus on Saturday, April 5th.

It’s not just for the pets. There will also be live music and vendors for owners to enjoy.

According to the shelter, it managed to help more than 8500 dogs and cats in 2024 and spay/neuter more than 6600.

Sign-up is $30. To register for Mutt March, click here.

Get your tickets early: Prices go up after March 21st.
