The main event of the evening will be our Pet Costume Contest! Dress up your pup, kitty, or other furry friend and enter them for a chance to take home some prizes! Can’t bring your pet to the event? No problem! You can still enter them in the contest by submitting their photo before the event ends. One winner will be selected at the event, while two additional winners will be chosen online (through Instagram likes).

And of course, no Halloween party is complete without a treat! Every registered guest will receive a FREE Halloween-decorated biscuit for their costumed companion(s). Your pet doesn’t have to attend the event for you to claim their goodies, so even your shyest sidekick can get a taste of Cosmo’s delicious treats.

Along with the costume contest, guests can enjoy light refreshments, a fun guessing game featuring bones and treats, and plenty of time to browse Cosmo’s selection and meet fellow pet lovers. Soul Dog Rescue may also be on hand to answer questions about fostering and adoption.

This free, come-and-go event is open to all ages (and all pets, whether they’re dressed to impress or prefer to stay home). Registration helps us plan ahead and guarantees your pet’s Halloween treat, so be sure to reserve your spot and get those costumes ready. It’s going to be a paw-sitively fun evening!
