This year was the 4th Annual Howl'oween Dog Parade and costume contest in downtown Opelika. Besides all the fun and entertainment, the event benefitted Rescue K9-1-1, an orgaization that is dedicated to the rescue of lost and homeless animals in the community.
I am not an advocate of putting clothes on dogs, but have to admit that these dogs were adorable!

Looks like they have fun.
Oh those are wonderful, and such a near and dear to my heart cause, but I can't believe - seeing where you work, that there isn't a single Aubbie doggie :)
They are awfully cute, and they don't look embarassed at all. Bless their little hearts for having patience with their people friends!
Hello Mara,
What a fun event for everyone....and all for a great cause!! I would have had a terrific time seeing all the pooches in costumes. I'm not an advocate of putting clothes on dogs either...but they sure do look cute! Thanks for sharing all the photos!

Mara - Loved this post. I'm so happy I came across it. We have an annual parade each year for the children in our neighborhood and I was amazed at the number of people who brought their dogs in costume too. They were so adorable. I would have never guessed that their was an actual Halloween doggie parade held anywhere.
I wonder what the dogs were thinking??
I think these are great examples of why dogs hate Halloween! Very cute though!
Hi Mara love the pictures, as long as the pet doesn't mind. I dress mine all the time and you can just tell when she doesn't want it.
Love the pics - a little cowboy dog trick or treated at my door this year, I was cracking up, he had a little saddle bag for candy - so cute.
