Ready your pets and your costumes, because Arlington Animal Services is bringing the festivities this month with their inaugural Wag-o-Ween event. Scheduled for October 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., all the action will take place at the Arlington Animal Services Center, according to the City of Arlington.
This day-long event is not just about dressing up your four-legged friends. It's also an opportunity to access valuable pet health services. The announcement highlights free rabies vaccinations and microchips offered to the first 200 pets in line between 10 a.m. and noon. Promising to be a family-friendly affair, the center invites pet owners to bring their furry companions along for trunk-or-treating, with food and games to add to the fun.
Local vendors and pet booths will be on-site, serving up all sorts of goodies and services. And for those looking to expand their family with another set of paws, the event is offering affordable pet adoptions. "Affordable pet adoptions, which include pet vaccinations, spay or neuter, heartworm testing for dogs, FIV/FELV testing for cats, a microchip and more," detailed the City of Arlington. Sharing the community spirit or looking for a business opportunity, vendors are also invited to join in, with contact information right there in the announcement for those interested.
No celebration would be complete without a competition, and Wag-o-Ween has one for both pets and kids— a costume contest that promises prizes for the best dressed. "Don't be a scaredy cat – unleash your creativity! Prizes await those with the best costumes!" says the City of Arlington.
