Society Dog is once again sponsoring the Howling Halloween dog parade in downtown Los Gatos, which is a fun fundraiser to support the K9 unit of the Los Gatos Monte Sereno Police Department. This year (2009) it is on Saturday, October 24th from 5 - 6:30 pm with registration starting at 5:30pm outside of Borders in Old Town Los Gatos. Or, if you register online, there's a discount!

To register online, to view the prizes, and to learn more about this event, please see the Society Dog's website or their page for the event. If you want to help, or have questions, they'd love to talk with you on their yelp line, 408-671-3417, or email them at helpdog@societydog.com.

Need a place to buy a costume? I spotted a number of them at the downtown Los Gatos Petco store (444 N Santa Cruz Ave).  And that costume is reusable too, as the very next day, there's a pet costume contest at Petco in Los Gatos  (and apparently every other Petco, but verify it before showing up) at 2pm too!
