CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN BY DRESSING UP YOUR PET FOR  THE 15TH ANNUAL FURFEST & COSTUME PARADE

 

The Halloween Costume Parade will once again feature prizes and ribbons in the following categories; Scariest, Best Group, Funniest, Most Original and Best in Show! (For everyone’s safety pets must be on a leash or crated for the event).

 

“This parade just gets bigger and better year after year,” explained Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. “The pets showing off their costumes never fails to put smiles on the faces of all the participants and visitors – making for a real special day.”

 

Regenye continued, “Having the Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility volunteer group as a dedicated partner always helps us put on a great show with their generosity and support.”

 

However, the event is more than just the pet parade. It is also a great opportunity to showcase all the loving cats and dogs the animal facilities have available for adoption and in need of forever homes. Every dog and cat adopted from the Ocean County Animal Facilities receives a veterinary exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, is spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

 

The Southern Ocean County Animal Facility and Northern Ocean County Animal Facility, in Jackson, are operated under the care of the Ocean County Health Department.
