Anne Arundel County Animal Control Hosts Halloween Party and Candy with a Cop

The family-friendly event takes place October 29.

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD - Goblins, fairies and werewolves may be among the “pets” roaming Anne Arundel County Animal Control during a family-friendly Halloween Party from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 29 at the shelter, 411 Maxwell Frye Rd., Millersville. Candy with a Cop will be from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The shelter’s “Howl-a-ween Paw-ty” will include a safe trick-or-treat trail throughout the event and a noontime children's costume parade and contest, with several prizes in each of four age categories. Live music will be provided by The Big Band Theory of Baltimore, a non-profit jazz band. Throughout the party, there also will be face painting, children's games and educational exhibits -- and, of course, pets available for adoption from both the shelter and some of its rescue group partners. Parents, be sure to bring your cameras!
