Howl-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest

Even though Dedicated Animal Welfare Group (DAWG) and the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center can't hold the annual DAWG Walk & Adoption Extravaganza Event for the first time in 25 years due to COVID-19, the Pet Costume Contest will go on this fall!

This exciting virtual fundraising event will include photos you submit of your amazing cat, dog or other pet. Submit one photo featuring one pet per entry, and the most creative, adorable Howl-O-Ween pet picture will win a prize valued at $200.

Prizes will include dinner for two at a delectable local restaurant and a gift certificate from Chewy.com and Hala's Paws for your fabulous fur companion. 

Photos can be submitted starting September 25 to October 25.  The top contestants will be live-streamed on a special Halloween Day event on the city's YouTube channel at 3 pm.
