These Adoptable Dogs Are Feeling the Howl-oween Spirit!

Not only is it Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, Halloween is just weeks away and these fur-ighteningly cute dogs are ready to celebrate — so much so that they’ve already got their costumes on! The only problem is, they don’t have homes of their own where they can help hand out candy or go trick-or-treating. Think one of these pups could spend this Halloween (and all their Halloweens after) with you?

Learn more about these boo-tiful dogs below, and who knows, one might just be the Zero to your Jack Skellington!

Tri-state Area:

Kristie

This 6-year-old girl is more about treats than tricks. She’s soft-natured, sensitive and adores attention. She’ll happily rub against you for pets and roll over to accept some belly rubs. Kristie also loves sniffy walks, exploring the world around her, napping and hanging out with her favorite people. Think Kristie is just pup-kin perfection?

Coney

Also 6 years old, Coney doesn’t let anything slow her down, not even three legs! She’s the perfect companion to have around Howl-oween as she is very brave and the perfect example of resilience. She lives life to the fullest, always ready to greet each day with a wagging tail. Coney absolutely adores leaning in for pets, soaking up attention, yummy treats and playtime. She’s also a great snuggler! Do you feel the magic with Coney? If so, check out her profile to learn more!

Weaverville, North Carolina:

Holly

Holly is a fun-sized treat — perfect for Halloween! She loves being a silly goofball, rolling around in the grass and playing with her dog pals. She initially came to us as a shy, fearful girl, but she has grown into a curious and affectionate pup. When she’s especially happy, she grins and shows off her teeth in the cutest vampire smile! If Holly has already put a glamour spell on you, check out her profile to learn more! 

Columbus, Ohio:

Piper

MOO-ve over! Piper is in town! This 4-year-old is the sweetest hound you’ll ever meet. She loves being silly with her humans, dressing up in costume and showing off her zoomies. After a fun day of play, she’s happy to curl up on the couch and snuggle with her people. Piper is super smart and already knows commands like sit, spin and down. She also loves a treat, so howl-oween is her favorite time of year! Have room in your barn for this cow? Check out Piper’s profile to learn more about her!

Rosa

Looking for a gentle, cuddly bestie with a heart full of love? Well then Rosa is your girl! She’s a sweet, social lady who is ready to join your family! She loves people, full-body snuggles and walks. Rosa gets along with other polite pups and enjoys hanging in the yard, taking the world at her own pace.

If you don’t live near these areas, but you are still interested in adopting, please consider looking for your new furry friend at your local shelter. You can also visit our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC.

If you aren’t ready to adopt, you can still make a huge difference as a foster caregiver! Fostering not only helps show pets what home life is like, it also opens up more space in shelters. You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, Ohio, New York City, Los Angeles (cat fosters only) and Weaverville, North Carolina (dog fosters only). You may also be able to sign up to foster with your local shelter!
