Pet Events This Halloween Season in Southern California

Halloween isn't just reserved for children and adults, pets can get into the fun this season as well! There are some really entertaining events happening in southern California this year. I've included one in Hollywood, Riverside as well as Long Beach. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by as they will benefit animal charities as well as shelters.

Date: October 28th
Time: 11:00 a.m.

This supposedly is one of the largest pet events for the Halloween season so this is the place to be if you have a furry friend if you live near Long Beach. Last year, more than 500 pets showed up and this year, many more are to attend. The pet adoption fair will take place between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. If you aren't interested in adopting an animal, then you can come a little later for the pet costume contest.

Registration starts at 1:00 p.m. and the competition starts at 2:00 p.m. Then half an hour later at 2:30 p.m., the parade will start! Vendor booths from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. which include some fun stuff such as a bulldog kissing booth, bobbing for Howl'oWeenies as well as a competition to see which dog can stack the most amount of treats! They'll also have a costume contest for children. This sounds like a really enjoyable event for owners and their pets. To find out more information about this event, please click on the link below.
