We want to celebrate the spookiest and most fun time of year with you! Join the NHSPCA for our first ever Halloween costume Paw-rade around our beautifully expanded campus! Whether you are a spectator or a participant…it will be a fa-boooo-lous good time for all (children, pets, and beyond).   

Bring your dog(s) to show off their best trick in our outdoor dog pens, bring children and/or pets to participate in our costume contest Paw-rade around our ring trail, meet some of our adoptable animals, and much more! Children, dogs, and adults are encouraged to dress up! Treats (for humans and dogs) will be served along the way, and fun prizes will be offered for costume contest winners! If your child will be trick-or-treating, make sure you bring a bag or container to hold the treats in!

A $5 registration fee is required per family entering the parade. 

All proceeds go to the NHSPCA and the animals in our care. 

When: Saturday October 29, 2022 
3:30-4:30 pm (weather permitting)
The parade begins at 3:45 and costume contest winners will be announced at 4:15, after which we’ll wrap up the fun with some tasty fall treats!
Note: If you are interested in visiting the Adoption Center – please come early as we close at 4 pm and will not be open after the parade.
