Adoptable dogs from Paws 4 You will be on site, some of whom will be available for “rental” as doggy dates for the event! Crowd favorite Pumpkin Patch Portraits also will be available as souvenirs.
Admission is $5.
Event emcee will be local celebrity and wildlife expert Ron Magill.
Sponsored by Harley-Davidson, Paws 4 You’s eighth annual Howl-O-Ween festival is a fundraiser with proceeds benefitting hundreds of dogs saved by the organization each year from the threat of euthanasia in southern Miami-Dade, the county’s highest-risk area.
