Still not over our HOWL-O-WEEN Parade! 🎃🐾
From Scooby Doo and the gang to hot dog carts, cotton candy makers and SO many incredible costumes, the boardwalk was full of happy pups and even happier people. ❤️ Winners are posted first 🙂
Thank you to everyone who came out and participated, our amazing sponsors, the City of Ocean City, city workers and all of our Ocean City merchants who help make events like this possible.

This is personally one of my favorite events of the year. There’s nothing better than seeing how much joy and love our four legged friends bring into our lives. 🐶❤️
We hope everyone enjoyed Dog Days on the Ocean City Boardwalk as much as we did. Until next year! 🎃🐾
Couldn’t make it but still want to support our shelter pets? You can make a donation here:

Today’s parade was one for the books! So many dogs, so many different shapes and sizes, and SO many incredible costumes. 👻🐶 We loved seeing the boardwalk filled with pups, families, and our amazing community coming together for such a fun day!

We are so grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up for us and our animals year after year. 💙
A HUGE thank you to the City of Ocean City, all of the city workers, Ocean City Police and Fire Departments, our volunteers, participants, and everyone behind the scenes who helped make today possible!
