Celebrate Howl-O-Ween With Your Furry Friends

Wear your costume for a cause

Generation Wags, an organization dedicated to spreading awareness about pet abuse and neglect, is throwing a Halloween bash to benefit animals in the Gaithersburg, Md. area.

On Saturday, Oct. 27, dogs and owners can put on their costumes for a three-mile brisk walk/run with fellow animal lovers, beginning at Fleet Feet Sports (255 Kentlands Blvd., Gaithersburg, Md.).

The festivities continue with a Halloween party (235 Kentlands Blvd., Gaithersburg, Md.) where miniature pinschers from a local rescue shelter will be up for adoption. Guests will also have a chance to learn more about volunteer jobs and fostering animals.

Families are encouraged to attend, as well as get their pictures taken in costume with their furry friends.

The day begins at 9:30 a.m. and continues until noon, so you have plenty of time to stop by and make a difference in the life of a local animal in need.

Roy this sounds like a ton of fun.... We looked at Halloween costumes for Dixie yesterday.  We thought it would be fun if she answers the door with a cool costume on :)  Us and our four legged kids... Go figure.

The Walk sounds like a fun way to celebrate the holiday.  Fun for the young, the old, and the furry ones, while supporting a great cause!

Roy,

This sounds like fun, and it reminds me of the dog parade we used to have in Santa Barbara.  I love the "howl" team of it all, and I hope you and Dolores are there taking pictures. A

That would be fun to see and photograph.  And I would love to adopt a min-pin!  I have only ever seen one of them on Maui.

Sounds like a furry, tail-wagging good time, Roy. We have two animal rescue events this weekend and one last night. I just enjoy the costumes.

Thanks so much for your comments.  We had a power outage in Kentlands this morning.  That slowed things down since traffic lights were also out.

Have a great day and an outstanding weekend.

Thanks for promoting this to your market. I love to see help for the animals since they are such wonderful companions. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of which only one is a pure bred and the others are rescues.
