King Kennel will host a trunk-or-treat for local dogs and their owners to attend, both for fun, and as a fundraiser for the facility.
The event will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The staff will be handing out dog-related items for trunk-or-treat to give to attending pets, and provide bags and we will be proving bags for you to carry your items in. A costume contest will take place for attending dogs as well.
As stated on Facebook, “Trunk or treat and a photo is free if you bring a much needed donation to the Clark County SPCA. Items needed: unscented baby wipes, Pine Sol, paper towels, kitten/puppy food, peanut butter.”
All dogs must be on a leash and current on their vaccines.
