Mutt Derby raises Thousands
Date:
May 20, 2011
More than 145 dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds raced toward the finish line at this year's mutt derby for a good cause, raising more than $9,000, to benefit the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast in Palm City.
A new face comes into Okeechobee County Animal Control every day, whether it's a little kitten rescued from a culvert or a skinny pit bull whose former owner was charged with neglect.
Nearly everyday, some of the faces leave.
The shelter is a final stop for more than 2,000 animals every year.

The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast (HSTC) is looking to neuter 60 male cats in one day on Tuesday, May 24. They’re targeting male cats over four months and will offer special pricing. The event will take place at the HSTC’s shelter, 4100 SW Leighton Farm Ave., in Palm City from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. The sterilization fee is $10 — half the normal cost — and includes a microchip and a rabies vaccination.
