1st Annual Putts Fore Mutts Golf Tournament

Lazy Paws Pet Food Delivery and It’s a Dog’s Life Pet Sitting join to host the 1st Annual Putts Fore Mutts Golf Tournament Saturday, June 6, at San Dimas Canyon Golf Course.

Putts Fore Mutts was created in support of Rancho Cucamonga-based Mutts N Stuff Small Dog Rescue. “Mutts N Stuff is a great organization doing great things for animals. Unfortunately, as a non-profit operating solely on donations, there’s never been enough funds for a shelter, and they instead depend on foster homes,” said Lazy Paws owner and Putts Fore Mutts creator Jeremy Mathison. “The purpose of this fundraiser is to get Mutts N Stuff a place to call their own.”

Putts Fore Mutts is a two-person Texas Scramble with tons of prizes, including $300 for first place, $200 for second place, and $50 for third place, plus tee prizes. The Tournament will also feature live music by Rough Cut, dinner, and a raffle. Sponsors such as pet service locator Scooble.com and Canidae All Natural Pet Foods will be handing out bags full of special treats for participants’ pets.

Participant donations are available as $85 per golfer, $170 per team, or $20 for dinner only. Registration begins at 11 a.m., with tee time at 1 p.m. Participants are encouraged to pre-register at www.Lpaws.com or arrive early as space is limited.

The fundraising goal is $10,000 with all proceeds benefiting Mutts N Stuff.

San Dimas Canyon Golf Course is located at 2100 Terrebonne Ave., San Dimas.
