Join us for a Halloween dog walk, a costume contest, and a zombie dance all benefiting animals!  Can't make it?  Spoil your pet with some homemade Halloween treats you can make with the recipes found on our Halloween tips page.

Costume contest & dog walk

We are teaming up with Partners for Active Living (PALS) to offer our friends (both human and canine) an opportunity to get out, get moving, and make new friends!  In the spirit of Halloween, there will also be a costume contest. 

Please bring your dog (on a leash) and join us in the Henry Street Parking lot at noon next Saturday.  All pets who wish to participate in the contest must register by 11:30.  Hope to see you there!
