We've been attending the WillaMutt Strut since it began in 2011 -- the same year we adopted Ruby from WHS. For several years, Ruby was the champion of the Strut's "My Dog Will Eat That" contest. For the last couple years, she preferred snoozing over strutting, but we continued to attend the Strut with our OHS human and canine friends.

We had to say a heartbreaking goodbye to Ruby in July, but she'd want us to soldier on, attend the event, and do what we can to help animals like her who land at the shelter in need of TLC while they wait for a loving home.

We'll be at Riverfront Park to enjoy the festivities, and we hope you will join us in supporting this great event. Your donation to Ruby's page will go towards the amazing programs and services that OHS provides to our local community.

On behalf of our beloved Ruby, thank you for being warriors for homeless pets -- she would say you're all princes and princesses!
