2020 Fast and Furriest Virtual Event Photo Gallery
Submit your photo by emailing it to events@gulfcoasthumanesociety.org. 
he Fast and the Furriest 5k/1 Mile Fun Walk may not have been the same for its 10th Anniversary but we celebrated the animals nonetheless!!!

The Fast and Furriest had been utmost on our minds! Due to Covid-19, Lee County and the City of Fort Myers had closed event permitting. Until November 2020, with no event permits issued, this led to a stall in planning. Because it is our 10th Anniversary year and we wanted our sponsors and participants to have their benefits in the year 2020, we decided to move forward with a Virtual Event!! 

​Date: The event was held from December 6th-December 26th
Location: Participants completed the run/walk at their leisure during that time, at the location of their choice.

The Fun Part: Submit your photos to us after completing the event, maybe in holiday gear, with antlers on dogs, etc... and we will share them on our social media sites which combined have over 30,000 followers.  Use the hashtag #FastandFurriest2020!

The Prize: After you have completed the event and entered your results above-you will have the opportunity to pick up your event t-shirt and finisher medal.   

Shirt, finisher medal and award pick up date is not determined yet.
Stay tuned for details!

ANIMAL ABUSE AND CRUELTY
The Lee County Sheriff's Office has diligently investigated the cases brought to their attention and will continue to make it clear that animal abuse and animal cruelty will not be tolerated in this county. 

With the generous assistance of Lamar Advertising, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office has placed numerous billboards around the county indicating that any form of animal abuse or cruelty would result in jail time.

With the assistance of the Office of the State Attorney, abusers have been prosecuted and punished for their actions.

ABOUT DEPUTY DOGS
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Dogs, Pets on Patrol program is recruiting residents and their pets to serve as community lookouts while out on their daily walks.
​

Headed by Lieutenant “Bosco,” a 7-pound Havapoo-Poo, and Deputy “Chance,” an abused and abandoned Florida Cur dog rescued by Lee County Domestic Animal Services and later adopted and deputized by Sheriff Carmine Marceno. The Deputy Dog Pets on Patrol initiative encourages pet owners to pay attention for suspicious activity while out with their pets AND prevent animal abuse in their neighborhoods.
Anything seen or sniffed can be reported to our crime prevention hotline, (239) 477-1000. To register, contact info@deputydogs.com or fill out the online registration form.

​The Furniture Family You Can Depend On
Our journey began in 1955 when Stewart Matter Sr. became a sales representative for Simmons Mattress Company. After several years of traveling various states, he decided to open a furniture showroom in his hometown of Ft. Wayne, Indiana in order to be home every night with his family. After 20 years of success, he decided to move and raise his family in Ft. Myers, Florida. Over the years, his sons, Stewart II, David, Tom, John, and Gary joined him and since have grown the business to one of the Top 100 Furniture Retailers in the country.
Matter Brothers Furniture & Mattress pride ourselves on being good stewards to the communities we serve and take part in supporting local businesses. Family owned and operated since 1976 with five locations throughout Southwest Florida including; Ft. Myers, Naples, Sarasota, Pinellas Park, and Tarpon Springs.
