A week later and we still can't get over the absolutely spook-tacular costumes from this year's Howl'oween.

We loved the creativity, energy, and sense of community you all brought to the event. We have the best paw park community! 🧡🖤🐾

… more Howl’oween thank yous!

Part of what makes Alex’s paw park so special is not only the joy & friends made inside the park, but also the love that extends beyond the fence.

We are most grateful for:

- Cuqui, DJ Lady C, who generously donated her time and talent to provide the perfect party vibes 🧡

- Jessica, Card My Yard, who provided the pawsome Howl’oween sign photo-op, free of charge 🧡

- Jen, a paw park regular, who generously donated beautiful and creative baskets for our raffle fundraiser 🧡

- Rose Lyn, Let’s Play Ruff, who spearheaded the Hungry Bowl Pet Food Drive. With help from our paw park community, many items were donated and will be distributed to local rescues and shelters.

- Ames, a 9 yr old Holmdel resident who raised $151 in support of Alex’s Paw Park, by setting up a lemonade stand at a neighborhood fundraising event. Ames and his family enjoy talking about all the good times had at the park with their pups Alaska and Atlas, and cherish the friendships they have made there.

Thank you to all! We are blessed to have such a caring, giving community 🫶
