How: Just stop by. All animal participants in costume can compete in the contest and fill their trick-or-treat bags with all sorts of goodies.
Entry Fee? There is none! But participants are encouraged to make a donation to the Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary. A list of items needed by them are listed below. Cash donations are also welcome.

In addition to the pet costume contest there will also be fun activities for the whole family including free trick-or-treating for your four-legged friends, food vendors and a visit from the world's number one Ghostbusters fan who'll be bringing along the Ecto-1 cruiser as well as some other fun movie surprises.

The Boris & Robyn Show will be hosting the contest between 11am and 2pm on Saturday, October 29. You can bring you pet anytime during the event to parade in front of our panel of celebrity judges. Grand prizes will be announced for the winning costumes on Halloween morning during the Boris & Robyn Show.

There will be food and pet vendors, games and other activities for the whole family. Be sure to stay tuned to The Boris & Robyn Show on 101.5 WPDH for more details.

If you’d like to help the Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary please consider bringing a donation to the event. The sanctuary is in desperate need of pet food. Pedigree is the preferred brand for dog food and Friskies is the preferred brand for cats. Also paper towels, bleach, laundry detergent and even toilet tissue are all items that Pets Alive can use to help keep the operation running.
