Pet Pantry Warehouse To Host Howl & Prowl To Benefit Adopt-A-Dog

GREENWICH, CT —Pet Pantry Warehouse will once again host the annual Howl & Prowl event and Halloween costume contest at its new location behind Greenwich Town Hall.

Prizes totaling over $600 will be awarded. The event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 22 from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m.

Pet food samples will be available throughout the event and donations will be collected for Adopt-a-Dog.

"Each year we try to come up with entertaining events in the communities we serve to bring people together but to also support valuable non-profit organizations," said Adam Jacobson, executive vice president at Pet Pantry, in a news release. "This year Adopt-a-Dog's largest fundraiser was cancelled due to weather resulting is a loss for the non-profit of up to $100,000. Because of that, this Howl & Prowl is more important than ever and we hope for a great turnout."

Adopt-A-Dog is a limited-admission animal shelter whose mission is to save, socialize and secure loving homes for unwanted or abandoned dogs. Adopt-A-Dog accomplishes this goal by providing the highest standard of care for dogs in need with a particular focus on ensuring that all aspects of their overall health and well-being are addressed.

Admission is free although anyone entering the costume contest can register online here. PetParent is a prize category as well.

Costume contest tickets are $20 and the contest starts at 2:45 p.m.
