Get ready for a howlin' good time at Howl N Scream Trunk or Treat 2025 — hosted by Joplin Humane Society and sponsored by Blue Buffalo / General Mills!
👻 WHEN: Saturday, October 25th | 2:00–4:00 PM
📍 WHERE: Joplin Humane Society Parking Lot (140 E Emperor Ln, Joplin, MO)
Bring the whole family (two-legged AND four-legged) for an afternoon full of tricks, treats, wagging tails, and spooky fun! We'll have a parking lot full of decorated trunks handing out candy, adorable adoptable pets, and…
A COSTUME CONTEST!
Dress to impress! We’ll be handing out prizes for:
Best Human Costume
Best Pet Costume
Best Group/Family Costume
Costume contest judging starts at 3:00 PM, so come early and show off your spooky style!
Friendly reminder: Dogs are absolutely welcome, but they must be on a leash and comfortable around other dogs and people. We want everyone—furry and not—to have a safe and fun time!
Adoption Specials ALL DAY!
Thinking about adding a furry friend to your family? Don’t ghost the opportunity! We’ll be offering special adoption discounts throughout the day, because there’s nothing scarier than an empty couch with no pet to snuggle.
This event is open to everyone, so grab your kids, leash up your pups, and come celebrate Halloween the JHS way!
Candy for the kiddos
Smiles from adoptable shelter pets
Fun memories for the whole family
Don’t miss out on this tail-waggin' good time!
