Calling all Home for Good adopters and fosters! Get ready for an afternoon of fun at our upcoming dog costume contest dedicated to our amazing HFG community. Whether you want to show off your pup’s creative style or just cheer from the sidelines, we cannot wait to celebrate the Halloween season with you!
Stick around after our daytime adoption event for our Spooktacular Puppy Costume Contest, catch up with fellow rescue families, and enjoy some complimentary refreshments. Dress up your pup (or match them yourself!), compete for fantastic prizes, and once the party wraps up at 5:00 PM, head out to enjoy some neighborhood trick-or-treating!
Whether you adopted your furry best friend through our Home for Good Dog Rescue program or are currently opening your heart and home as one of our dedicated fosters, your support means the world to our rescue dogs.
