Join us for our 8th annual HOWL-O-WEEN party!

Don't leave your four-legged kids out of the trick-or-treating fun! Bring your dog to the ARL for a chance to earn a treat by showing off their best trick. Stop by our photo booth to capture the memory forever and finish in Bailey's Bark Park for off-leash time, pumpkin pie treats for your pup, and delicious fall beverages for you!

PLUS - Dress your pup in their best costume and enter our costume contest to win a private dog paw-ty for you and up to 10 fur-iends! Don't have a costume yet? Visit the Animal House store (5452 NE 22nd St) to pick up your dog's costume before the event.

You can also enter into a raffle to win tickets to an Iowa Wild game in November and a few other goodies from the ARL Animal House store!
