USO Great Lakes is excited to present our first ever… HOWL-WEEN PAW-TY! Service members and their families are welcomed to bring their 4-legged friends to USO Great Lakes on this day to celebrate HOWL-WEEN. We will be providing pup cups and taking photos of dogs in costume to enter in our social media doggie costume contest.
Photos of dogs will be posted on 19 October in a Facebook album and the dog with the most likes on 25 October at COB will win a prize.
We ask that all dogs remain on leash for this event. If your pup is not comfortable being in a group setting on leash, we can provide a pup-cup to go to make sure they feel comfortable and do not have to be in a group setting. All dogs must also be up to date on vaccinations.
If you have any questions, contact Lucie Sertich at 515-553-8207 or lsertich@uso.org.
