MISHAWAKA, Ind. – Halloween is coming and while the Humane Society of St. Joseph County typically holds a Trunk-or-Treat event, they have canceled it this year due to COVID-19. In its place is a virtual costume contest for pet owners.

Participants will need to make a $5 minimum donation to the shelter as an entry fee.

Photos of pets in Halloween costumes can then be submitted on the Humane Society’s website.

Entries will be displayed in a photo album on their Facebook page and on October 31st at 5:30 p.m. the top three photos with the most “likes” will win prizes.

Prizes include swag from the Humane Society and gift cards from local businesses.
