The Humane Society of Central Oregon (HSCO) is inviting companion animals to enjoy the ghastly delights of Halloween. Unleash your creativity and “trick”-out your four-legged friend in a costume. The Howl-o-ween Pet Costume contest will be Saturday, October 31 at 4pm at the Old Mill District near Greg’s Grill (395 SW Powerhouse Drive in Bend).

HSCO will be giving all pets treats during the Old Mill District Halloween Party from 3 to 6pm.

Unleash your imagination and create or buy a costume for any companion animal. Contest is not limited to dogs and cats and there is no entry fee. Dress up your bearded dragon or rabbit and surprise the celebrity judges. Prizes will be given to the top entries. Professional photos of your pet in costume by Heather Jordan will be available.

Pet costume contest will begin at 4:00 pm. Arrive early to register for the free contest. Make sure pet costume is comfortable and the animal can move freely and see. For more information visit www.hsco.org or call 541.330.7096.
