Santa Rita Park was turned into a yapping, romping,
moving collage as dogs and dog lovers of all shapes
and sizes took to the lawn during the third annual Mutt
Strut and Humane Society Adopt-a-Thon on Sunday. The
event, which benefitted the La Plata County Humane Society,
found new homes for several of the shelter’s dogs
even prior to the onset of the day’s event. The
crowds were entertained by a variety of activities including
a pet/owner look-a-like contest and a heavily contested
competition for Durango’s ugliest dog.
