What do you get when you combine you, your dog and a few of your best buddies?

A Stride for Strays TEAM...and a lot of saved lives!

ACT can't end pet overpopluation in our community without your help, and the best way to do that, and have a great day in the sun with your dog, is to join forces with others to Stride for Strays.

Team Perks:

  • A complimentary team photo taken at the walk
  • A special walk sign with your team's name or logo to wave proudly
  • For teams that raise at least $1,000 - a reserved table and special goodies for you at Stride for Strays!

Top Fundraising Team:

  • The coveted "Roving Dog Bone Award" to keep until next year's Stride
  • Team photo and profile on the ACT web site
  • Custom made plaque with your Team's name
  • Special recognition at ACT's fundraising gala in 2009

Largest Team, Smallest Team, Most Spirited Team:

  • Framed certificate
  • Team photo on the ACT web site


Forming a team with your friends or at your company, church or dog park is as easy as chasing squirrels:

  1. Create a name for your team and pick a Team Leader. Each Team Leader will receive a certificate as a thanks for their special efforts.
  2. Register for the Stride as an individual walker. You'll be prompted to enter the name of your team.
  3. Round up your friends and get them to register online. When prompted, they will give the same team name, or select it from the drop down list. No team is too small or too big - everyone is welcome at the Stride!
  4. Each member of the team asks their friends, neighbors and family for donations to help end pet overpopulation in Hillsborough County. No amount is too small - a change jar in the break room can mean one less litter of puppies and kittens.
