The public is encouraged to take part in the Halloween festivities by taking a tour of decorated car trunks filled with sweet treats at the animal shelter.

“We’ve got candy for your little humans and free giveaways to take home to your pets,” said Huntsville Animal Services Director Dr. Karen Sheppard. “Best of all, we’ll give you a baggie of dog or cat treats to take inside and share with the shelter animals, who are looking for forever homes.”

This event is free and open to the public. Costumes are welcome but not required for participation. Sheppard recommends leaving your furry family members home during this event so the shelter animals can enjoy the extra attention.

We will continue to add to this list as we gather more events. If you would like for your event to be added to the list and we happened to miss it, please email news@fox54.com!
