Join us at the Edmonton Humane Society and the City of Edmonton’s Animal Care & Control Centre (ACCC) shared campus for a family and pet-friendly Halloween celebration! This is more than just a Halloween event — it’s a time to highlight community, compassion and the joy animals bring into our lives.
This event is free to attend! Consider bringing an item such as toys and non-perishable pet-related items to help us “Stuff-A-Van” for animals in our care. For details on supplies that we can and can’t accept, visit our Gift in Kind Item Wish List.
Introducing the Howl-O-Weenie Races, organized by Alberta Dachshund Rescue, a Halloween-themed Dachshund Dash you won’t want to miss.
Here’s how to sign up:
Compete against other Dachshunds to the cheers of adoring fans and celebrate the human-animal bond!
Planning on dressing up your fur-iend for this event? Costumes may be fun for us, but they’re not always comfortable for our pets. If you dress up your pet, make sure the costume fits well, doesn’t restrict movement or vision and is free from choking hazards. Learn more by reading our Costumes & Pets Guide.
