Meet Mulligan
Who knows the power of a yard or park better than a dog?
Mulligan, a rescue pup, is “pawing it forward” by sharing her love of green space as the TurfMutt Foundation “spokesdog.” Rescued by the Kentucky Human Society and adopted by Foundation President Kris Kiser at the annual dog adoption event, Mutt Madness at Equip Exposition, Mulligan now dons the superhero cape to share her love of the outdoors and how we all can help save the planet one yard, park and schoolyard at a time.
