About Us
Our staff & volunteers
At Branford Professional Fire Fighters Local 2533, we’re dedicated to supporting the heroes who serve our community, including the remarkable service and therapy dogs that stand beside them. Our nonprofit initiative, Mullets for Mutts, is an annual fundraising event designed to enhance the well-being and training of these essential canine companions.
Mullets For Mutts combines community spirit with a touch of fun, inviting participants to sport mullet hairstyles while raising funds for a vital cause. The proceeds from this event directly benefit the service and therapy dogs that work closely with first responders, helping to ensure they receive the best care, training, and support possible.
Our mission is to give back to those who give so much, recognizing the crucial role these dogs play in assisting our first responders. By attending and supporting Mullets for Mutts, you’re contributing to a greater good and helping to make a tangible difference in the lives of both the dogs and the heroes they support. Join us in our commitment to improving lives, one mullet at a time.
