Broward County Animal Care will host a free Halloween celebration on Saturday, October 24, featuring family activities, pet-friendly festivities and opportunities to adopt animals.

The Pup or Treat event will run from 6 to 8 p.m. at Broward County Animal Care, located at 2400 SW 42nd St. in Fort Lauderdale.

Activities will include doggy trick-or-treating, a pet costume contest, a pumpkin patch, pup cups and pet-friendly vendors. Residents will also be able to meet animals available for adoption.

As part of the event, Broward County Animal Care will waive all pet adoption fees. Adopters will still be responsible for paying the pet registration fee.

“Pup or Treat is an opportunity to bring our community together while helping more shelter pets find loving homes,” said Doug Brightwell, director of Broward County Animal Care.

Brightwell encouraged families to attend the celebration and consider adopting a shelter animal.

The county also urged prospective adopters to choose pets that suit their household, lifestyle and ability to provide lifelong care.

Residents can view animals available for adoption and find additional information about Broward County Animal Care at Broward.org/Animal.
