RANCHO SANTA FE (KUSI) – Helen Woodward Animal Center is getting festive for orphan pets as Mardi Gras approaches.
The non-profit animal shelter in Rancho Santa Fe is holding its yearly Doggie Gras Parade and Costume Contest but with a virtual format this year.
The event has invited animal lovers to dress up their furry family members in New Orleans-inspired ensembles and to create festive floats for a parade down “BourBONE” street for the past seven years. The event raises life-saving funds for the orphan pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center.
This year, the costume and parade contest is virtual. The Center is asking participants to submit a photo of their pet’s costume and/or float for a $10 donation. Exciting prizes are up for grabs for the winners.
All week long
