It’s all treats and no tricks this year for our furry friends and staff at our Hope Animal Sanctuary in Mississippi, where they participated in a spooky little photoshoot to celebrate. The dogs and cats loved the decorations and had a great time playing with them.

The permanent, as well as the temporary residents, love holidays and even though they do not get candy, they do get treats they really enjoy. One of their favorite treats are vegan Animal Crackers. They get so excited when they hear the bag rattle, which makes it fun for them and for us, too!

We loved watching our little bat-puppies outside and seeing our kittens fit themselves perfectly into pumpkins too, and can’t wait for them to each find their perfect forever homes.

We hope you and your animal companions have a safe and happy Halloween and encourage you to learn more about how to make this holiday-friendly for both companion and wild animals — there are a lot of potential dangers associated with it, but there are also a lot of simple things we can do to help. 

You can also help support our lifesaving work, and ensure animals in our care always have some special treats to celebrate the holidays, by making a donation.
