McKamey Animal Center Hosts Virtual Pet Costume Contest

  • Tuesday, September 14, 2021

McKamey Animal Center has reimagined their Barktoberfest & Meowloween celebration into something new this year. Starting this Wednesday, MAC will be accepting entries for a new pet costume photo contest, presented by Little Debbie. 

MAC encourages patrons to enter their furry, fuzzy, scaley and even feathery pets in the new pet photo costume contest.

To enter, submit a photo of your favorite pet(s) in their cutest, scariest or wackiest costume starting Wednesday. Then, get all of your family and furrriends to vote for your pet's photo from Oct.1 through Nov. 1 (voting closes at noon).

MAC wants to see your best pet costumes and know what your pet means to you. Each vote gets your pet one step closer to winning, and is also a donation directly to McKamey Animal Center and helps MAC care for the thousands of animals they care for each year. 

Grab your best costume from your boooo-tique’s and show off your pet. Animals are eligible to win in the following categories: Best Barker Costume, The Purrrfect Costume and The Other Little Monster Costumes. The animal with the most votes in all three categories combined will win the exclusive Best in Show prize. 

First-place winners in each category will be featured on MAC social media platforms, e-newsletter and in the spring edition of the MAC newsletter. The Best in Show winner will receive a basket of their favorite Little Debbie Snack Cakes and a custom carton of their favorite snack with their pet's photo on it. 

Joining in on the ghoulish fun is easy. Grab your pet and their best costume, snap a picture and upload it to the GoGoPhoto site. Share a little about your pet (their name, where you got them, how old they are, etc.) and set up your profile to participate. When you register your pet, you will be asked to pay a $5 entry fee (a donation to MAC). When voting begins on Oct. 1, promote your pet to all of your family, friends and loved ones via email, social media, etc., and ask them to vote.

Every $1 vote brings you closer to winning the Grand Prize and is a $1 donation to help MAC's animals. When voting closes on Nov. 1, the votes will be tallied and the winners will be announced - it could be you.  Winners will be announced Nov. 2 on MAC social media platforms. Your pet does not have to be adopted from a shelter or MAC to participate. All animals are welcome.
