Woods Humane Society invites the community —including leashed and friendly dogs — to its San Luis Obispo campus for the Wiggle Waggle Fall Festival, noon-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at 875 Oklahoma Ave.
The free, fall-themed pet celebration, offers kids’ and canines’ costume contests; trick-for-treat training challenges; canine carnival activities such as a stuffed-animal pull; and a Pet Fair with pet-themed vendors, local food, and face painting.
Guests can have photos taken with Santa Paws and snap pictures at the Woods Pup-kin Patch.
Festival vendors include Paradise Shaved Ice, Buzzle Bee Face Painting, A Dogs Life Scarf, Gentle Touch Dog Training, and Paws in Poppies.
New to this year’s event, Woods Humane Society and neighboring SLO County Animal Services will be offering 50% off on dog and cat adoptions during the event.
There will also be added free public parking at the nearby parking lot on Oklahoma Avenue, and in other designated areas, to accommodate the more than 800 expected guests.
“With nearly 3,000 Woods pets finding loving homes in this community each year, we have so much to celebrate with our friends and supporters, and can think of no better way to thank them than by hosting the biggest pet party on the Central Coast,” said Woods CEO Emily L’Heureux.
“In honor of the dogs and cats who bring endless joy and laughter to our lives, we hope the Wiggle Waggle Fall Festival will embody that same spirit and bring the animal-loving community together for an afternoon of 
pure tail-wagging fun,” she said.
