More rescue dogs will find new homes, and families nationwide will better appreciate the outdoor spaces they steward thanks to a renewed partnership between The TurfMutt Foundation and the Lucky Dog show produced by Hearst Media Production Group (HMPG).

“Spokesdog” Mulligan the TurfMutt, a rescue from annual dog rescue event, Mulligan’s Mutt Madness, will be featured in episodes of Emmy-winning Lucky Dog during Season 11 airing in 2024. Lucky Dog has been part of the CBS Saturday morning lineup for ten seasons.

The TurfMutt Foundation is dedicated to educating people on ways to create purposeful and environmentally-responsible living landscapes that everyone, including pets and wildlife, can enjoy. TurfMutt also supports animal rescue, rehabilitation and adoption, including sponsoring Mulligan’s Mutt Madness, a national dog adoption event in conjunction with the Kentucky Humane Society, held during Equip Expo.

In addition to TurfMutt providing some yard make-overs for families adopting dogs in the past on Lucky Dog, Season 11 episodes featuring TurfMutt begin filming this fall at Equip this October, with cameras capturing both Mulligan’s 5K Fun Run & Walk, which raises money for the Kentucky Humane Society, and Mulligan’s Mutt Madness. Lucky Dog episodes also will capture the development of a new dog park, Mulligan’s Bark Park, located in downtown Louisville.

“Lucky Dog on CBS and Hearst Media Production Group have become part of the TurfMutt family. We’re eager to have them back in Louisville this year,” says Kris Kiser, President and CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation and the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), which owns Equip Expo. “After all, I adopted Mulligan at Mutt Madness in 2019. Over 50 dogs have found their forever home there in the last few years.”
