Jeepers Creepers

Saturday, NOV 6

SWCDP is thrilled to bring back our popular Fall Celebration and Halloween Party – this is our seventh Halloween event and we plan a fun filled day with lots of doggie friendly activities. A chance to get silly and have fun with your pooch and your family. See old friends – make new ones.

The event is free – a membership perk.

And, there are several ways to win awesome prizes. You can also help us offset the cost of the event as well as the large straw purchase for our winter needs by purchasing SWCDP merchandise and buying raffle tickets.

Dogs Just Wanna Have Fun

This is their day

Please use judgement

While this event is well suited for most of our 4-Legged members – it is not for everyone. If you have a dog that tends to be resource aggressive (not willing to share toys or food) – you should not bring your dog to this event. With so many dogs and humans, games and activities as well as variety of treats – this is not the right event for dogs who get anxious in crowds or who do not like to interact with others.
