Trick-Or-Treat
It wouldn’t be Halloween without a little dress up! And while things may be a bit different this year, that doesn’t mean we can’t still go trick-or-treating in a new way. Share photos of your pet in their best costume on social media with #PawsOnThePike and we’ll send you a virtual goody bag – i.e. a downloadable package of fun surprises from local businesses!

Virtual Dog Parks
Over the course of the day, we’ll open up three public Zoom meetings you and your pet can join. Take a break to socialize with other pet parents on the Pike and maybe make some new furry friends! Meetings have concluded.
