Happy Howl-o-ween: FKF Pet Costume Contest

With Parvo cases continuing to rise, the Fur Kids Foundation Board of Directors has decided to CANCEL our Pet Costume Contest that was to be held on October 29 at 11 am. We feel it is in the best interest of the dogs in our community that we not have them gather and risk any of our contestant’s health.

The contest will move to an online format and will be posted on our Pet Costume Contest Facebook event page: https://fb.me/e/218xXEvsc. Free entries will be taken until Halloween and the judges will award winners on November 1. Please feel free to still dress your pets in costume and post pictures!

Categories are Small dogs/cats and Large dogs. Petco will award one prize for each category, prizes will need to be picked up at Petco after you are notified. Judges will separate the categories as needed. 

We will refund those who pre-registered for the event.

All pets are welcome to participate; however, please be aware of how your pet acts in a crowd and with other animals.
