Halloween Party Saturday At Anne Arundel Animal Shelter

MILLERSVILLE, MD — Goblins, fairies and werewolves may be among the “pets” roaming Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control during a family-friendly “Howl-a-ween Paw-ty” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the animal shelter, at 411 Maxwell Frye Road in Millersville.

"Candy with a Cop" will be from 11 a.m. to noon on Saturday at the shelter. This is a rain or shine event.

The shelter’s “Howl-a-ween Paw-ty” will include a safe trick-or-treat trail throughout the event and a children's costume parade and contest at noon.

Live music will be provided by The Big Band Theory of Baltimore, a nonprofit jazz band. Throughout the party, there also will be children's games, a canine demonstration and educational exhibits. And, of course, there will be pets available for adoption from both the shelter and some of its rescue group partners. Parents, be sure to bring your cameras!

The free event is co-sponsored by the Friends of Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control, a nonprofit created by the shelter’s volunteers to help improve and save the lives of homeless animals.
