FWACC Halloween Pet Parade & Fall Festival

Four-footed ghosts and goblins are lining up to take part in the Halloween Pet Parade and Fall Festival Fundraiser sponsored by Paws & Remember on Saturday, October 22, from 11 a.m. –2 p.m. at Franke Park, Pavilion #1.

Each year, many animals arrive on our doorstep after having suffered at the hands of their owners. Dogs like Stella.

Stella arrived at a mere 18lbs. After providing her with veterinary care, it was determined her condition was due to a lack of nutrition. Simply feeding Stella would resolve her detrimental state. Not all are as lucky as Stella who now lives with her new family and feline friend, Napoleon.

“With the support of the community through this fundraiser we will persist in the efforts to stop cruelty and neglect against animals. We truly appreciate and are humbled by the community’s dedication to this cause.” ~Amy-Jo Sites, Director
