Mutt March is the only dog festival of its kind along the Treasure Coast, and we welcome you to join with us as we celebrate at Memorial Park on Saturday, January 24! There will be a variety of activities including a Morning Walk, Blessing of the Animals, HSTC Doggy Debuts, a Costume Contest and Flea-less Vendor Market with all sorts of steals and deals! So, please join us for a morning with friends January 24 starting at 10 am to join in all the FREE four-legged fun!

Pawlitics are ruff, so this year, for the first time ever, The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast is proud to announce the naming the first Honorary Dog Mayor of Palm City! That’s right, you heard it here first folks! Who better to run our beautiful city than a trustworthy and reliable four-legged friend? This year's candidates want freedom and yummy treats for all! Browse through this year's candidates and cast your vote by January 23! Each vote you submit increases your favorite canine candidate's chances of winning the 2026 Honorary Dog Mayor election.

The official Honorary Dog Mayor of Palm City will be announced at Mutt March on Saturday, Jan. 24 shortly after the event starts. The new Mayor will receive some major perks including a framed picture in the shelter lobby, recognition on HSTC’s Mutt March webpage, a shout out on the Mutt March Facebook page and a basket full of goodies for the winner!

Share this link with family and friends and encourage them to vote because every vote counts! All funds raised from this campaign will allow us to continue to provide the highest quality of care to our furry friends here at the shelter. The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast is proud to announce that we have helped place more than 2,000 animals into loving homes this past year while remaining true to our mission “to provide compassionate care and nurture the bond between people and pets”. Our commitment and support has never been stronger, and that’s largely in part because of people like you! Don't lose momentum!
