There was, of course, a costume contest – and pet owners showcased their creative prowess in the most imaginative and spooky costumes. The competition was fierce, and the participants left no stone unturned in their quest for the perfect ensemble. Prizes totaling over $600 added an extra layer of excitement to the event, as winners were crowned in various categories.
Attendees were offered the unique opportunity to connect with an Animal Communicator, bridging the gap between humans and their pets on a deeper level. The Haunted Sniffari led pets on a captivating olfactory adventure, engaging their senses in the spirit of the season.
Food trucks graced the event, offering a delectable array of culinary delights for pet owners and their furry companions to enjoy.
Amidst all the fun, there was also a sense of purpose. Donations were collected for Adopt-A-Dog, an organization with a mission to save, socialize, and secure loving homes for unwanted or abandoned dogs. This added layer of meaning highlighted the event’s commitment to giving back to the community.
Pet Pantry Warehouse, a family-owned retailer with deep roots in Greenwich, has been a pillar of the community since 1945. Their annual Howl and Prowl event stands as a testament to their dedication to the well-being of pets and their families.
