James River Humane Society Launches Virtual Howl-O-Ween Costume Contest

The James River Humane Society has announced its inaugural Virtual Howl-O-Ween Costume Contest, inviting pet owners to showcase their furry friends in creative costumes. Participants can enter their pets—ranging from cats and dogs to guinea pigs and ferrets—by submitting photos online. The contest aims to engage the community while supporting the nonprofit’s efforts.

Pet owners can submit their entries for a fee of $10 each. Voting will be open to the public at a cost of $1 per vote, allowing community members to support their favorite costumes. The contest is set to run until November 2, 2023, culminating in the announcement of the winner.

How to Participate

To enter the contest, individuals can visit the official website at jamesriverhumanesociety.org or find the entry link on the organization’s Facebook page. This online platform offers a convenient way for participants to engage while showcasing their pets in a festive spirit.

The pet that garners the most votes will receive an enticing gift basket filled with goodies, further encouraging community involvement. Organizers hope this event will not only celebrate the creativity of pet owners but also raise funds to support the ongoing work of the James River Humane Society.

As the Halloween season approaches, the Virtual Howl-O-Ween Costume Contest presents a unique opportunity for pet lovers to come together in a fun and meaningful way. The event reflects the society’s commitment to animal welfare and community engagement, making it a noteworthy highlight in Jamestown’s calendar.
