Your "Top Dog" is Meadow

Meadow and her family were in to win it! And once we'd read about Meadow and how she came to the Uppinghouse family, it absolutely made sense. She's a confident, determined girl!

Read Meadow's Story

With an outstanding $4,550 raised, this year's Top Dog is Meadow! She will appear on a limited-edition label at Triptych Brewing and carry the title of "Top Dog" until the next Mutt Strut.

We are so grateful to the Uppinghouse family for their dedication to supporting CCHS. Thank you!

Congratulations "Mr. Popular"

Asher is undeniably popular! Not only did Asher have more unique donors than any other campaign this year... he did last year too!

Many, many thanks to the McSims family, and to Asher, for once again joining this contest, raising over $1,000, and asking their friends to give.

Meet Asher

The Mutt Strut "Popularity Contest" isn't about how much you raise; it's about how many people you can inspire. The McSims family will enjoy a private tour at Triptych with a pizza party, as well as the knowledge that they have a very popular dog!

"The Love" was Shared 🧡

Serra Subaru is a friend to pets. CCHS is incredibly grateful to be a recipient of the 2025 "Share the Love" season, a winter promotion during which our friends at Serra share our mission with their customers and community.

Last weekend at the Mutt Strut, Serra Subaru presented CCHS with a generous donation of $8,800 from last winter's campaign. A gift that will have an immediate impact on the care and comfort of animals.

We are thankful for Serra Subaru's continued commitment to the welfare of animals in our community. They are dedicated supporters of CCHS, and we are so glad they choose to use their platform to make lives better for pets.
