Dogtopia is teaming up with our friends at GUNTRY for Paws for Heroes, a family-friendly Halloween celebration benefiting the Dogtopia Foundation — and we’d love for our pet parents, local families and community businesses to join us!

The Dogtopia Foundation supports programs focused on three important causes: providing service dogs for veterans, funding therapy dogs for students, and creating employment opportunities for adults with autism.

FREE Community Trunk-or-Treat

The outdoor Community Trunk-or-Treat is completely FREE for families to attend — no ticket required!

Dress up the kids, visit creatively decorated vehicles, collect candy and enjoy an afternoon of Halloween fun. Costumes are encouraged!

Want to decorate a trunk? Families, individuals, businesses and organizations can register a vehicle and join the fun.

Family & Individual Vehicle Entry: $20

Business participants may decorate a vehicle, display their branding and distribute appropriate promotional materials, making this a fun way to get involved while supporting a great cause.
