Upper West Side dogs could have the chance to point out off their Halloween costumes and accumulate treats from native retailers on Friday October twenty seventh from 5-7 p.m. on the second annual Trick-or-Treat Night for Dogs (rain date Monday October thirtieth). Thirty-four neighborhood businesses between West 67th and West 83rd Streets, from Columbus Avenue to Broadway, have signed as much as take part.
Dog house owners can begin by selecting up complimentary “trick-or treat bags” at one in all three areas: Camp Canine (46 West 73rd Street) Bond Vet (352 Amsterdam Ave at 76th Street,) and The Pet Market (132 West 72th Street.)
Trick-or-Treat Night for Dogs is the brainchild of Amanda Gay, Marketing Manager of Camp Canine, an UWS canine day-care and grooming facility. “I created this fun neighborhood event to foster community on the Upper West Side and provide a way for people to involve their pups in the spooky season,” she informed West Side Rag. “Last year we had over 200 dogs participate, and the Upper West Side was just swarming with dogs in costumes.”
This 12 months, Gay is collaborating with two new companions. Rescue Treats, an organization which makes all-natural canine deal with will probably be donating treats to the UWS retailers to offer the trick-or-treaters. Rescue Treats donates a portion of income to canine rescue organizations. Animal Lighthouse Rescue, a non-profit canine rescue organization led by Upper West Siders could have a sales space arrange exterior of Pet Market the place a few of their adoptable dogs will probably be in costume and able to meet potential new house owners.
A wide range of Upper West Side businesses will take part together with; Paper Source, Sephora, Orange Theory, Lululemon, Alice’s Tea Cup, Amsterdam Wine Co., Just Food For Dogs, Blue Mercury, New Balance, Levain Bakery, and Shakespeare & Co. An entire listing in addition to a trick or deal with map will be discovered here.
“Upper West Siders love their dogs, and I’m happy to put together this community event for our neighbors,” Gay informed WSR. “It’s the perfect opportunity to turn off the screen and make Halloween memories with your favorite four-legged family member.”
