Tails of The Forgotten was the theme of this year’s Keller William Red Day at Heritage Park, a pet adoption, education and fundraising event to benefit local pet rescues.

The folks at Keller Williams Realty invited all animal rescuers, and petrelated business owners in the Clarksville – Fort Campbell – Hopkinsville area to participate in the community event.

“Every year, Keller Williams Realty puts on Red Day, it’s our annual day of service, and it’s all about helping out in the community,” Kim Weyrauch said. “This year, we have selected to help with animal adoption and education, and all the donations collected will go to the rescue organizations that are here.”

“We have several great pet related businesses, Cats Are Us, Humane Society of Clarksville, Christian County Humane Society, ParaPooper Scooper, and others. We also have eight food trucks on site including Official Wings, Firelime Offshore Grill, and Island Breeze Hibachi.”

Almost entirely objectively speaking, Sarah McLachlan making the world cry with Angel is the best ASPCA ever created. It has been over 13 years since the launch of that campaign, and we’ve come a long way, but there are still animals who need saving.

Magic Mutts is taking a different approach, with the same goal- raise money to save animals. All in the name of charity, local hometown hunks are invited to audition for Clarksville’s first ever Magic Mutts Calendar. 12 participating animal rescues and nonprofits, during each month of the Magic Mutt calendar, a different rescue or nonprofit will be highlighted. Organizations will be able to fundraise by preselling calendars! 100% of the proceeds will go to each organization. Proceeds from general calendar sales will be evenly distributed to the participating organizations. It’s for the animals, and at the end of the day, that’s what truly matters.

Let’s talk timeline.

The Magic Mutts Calendar is a fundraiser for local animal rescues and nonprofits. So, how does it work?

Starting in June 2021, there is an open model call for the Magic Mutts Calendar. Entrants must submit themselves for consideration. To enter, submit 3 of your fave (family friendly) photos and a small bio to VIP on either Facebook or Instagram. Don’t worry about the rescue animals or anything else. You bring you, and we have got the rest.

Out of all of the Magic Mutt hopefuls, 12 Magic Mutt models will be selected. 12 Magic Mutts is a perfect one model per month. With JUNE – Announcement & Model Call
