It’s Voting Time! Win $1,000 for a Local Animal Shelter

We’re celebrating the magic of pet adoption with a spook-tacular photo contest that puts rescue pets in the spotlight. Whether your adopted companion is creepy, cute, or downright kooky, you showed off their Halloween best and shared the heartwarming story that brought them home. Now, it's time to meet the nominees and vote for your favorite in our Howl-o-Ween Happy Tails photo contest!

Contest Details

October 13 through October 22, you dressed up your adopted pet in their freakiest, funniest, or fur-tastically festive costume and submitted a photo of your adopted pet, their adoption story, and the name of the local facility where you adopted them from.

The adoption facility where the winning pet came from will receive $1,000 from Robert John & Associates. (Yes, I know you are singing the jingle right now!) Let’s raise the woof for rescue pets!
