2025 Mutt Run

The 3rd annual Bob Long Memorial Mutt Run wrapped up another resounding success, when more than 200 runners and dogs enjoyed a glorious sunny day on the beach to benefit the Long Beach Animal Care Services.

We raised $5,645 for the Long Beach Animal Care Services and engaged the animal-loving community from all over, including many out-of-state participants. We are also grateful for our sponsors, including the Rotary District 5320, the Port of Long Beach, Signal Hill Petroleum, Kaizen Wealth Management (Jose Quintanilla), Raising Cane’s, Sports Basement, and Bethany Schramm.

This year, the stars of the show were the adoptable dogs themselves. Each dog walked down the catwalk as supermodels as she was introduced to the adoring crowd. Dimarco had been in the shelter since May of 2024, and a family met him at the Mutt Run and welcomed him to a new home. We wish all of them will find new homes from the event.
