Stockdale’s Pet Costume Contest Raises Five Tons Of Pet Food For Animal Shelters
This year’s Stockdale’s Howl-O-Ween pet costume contest raised over five tons of pet food that will be given to local animal shelters.
On October 24, the contestants had amassed a record of nearly 60,000 likes on Stockdale’s pet costume contest’s Facebook page.
Area animal shelters will receive 10,355 pounds of pet food as a result of Stockdale’s Howl-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest. An all-time high of 59,350 people “liked” their favorite among the 107 pet photos taken at Stockdale’s six locations on October 24, and posted to the company’s Facebook page.
Stockdale’s, America’s rural outfitter, is also awarding a $250 store gift card to Sarah Woodson, whose dog Tonka, dressed as a cow, received 1,900 Facebook likes. The top vote getters at each location received a $50 gift card from the retailer.
“We are pleased to sponsor this contest, which has grown to be a much-anticipated event at our stores each year,” said Vickey Stewart, general manager, Stockdale’s. “Although the weather was less than desirable, it was such fun to see all pets in their clever costumes, and we are pleased to donate more than 10,000 pounds of pet food to participating such deserving shelters.”
