5th Annual Wiggle Waggle Fall Festival, Sponsored by Subaru of San Luis Obispo, Welcomes Leashed Dogs for Costume Contests, Pet Fair & More
Woods Humane Society invites the community—including leashed and friendly dogs—to its San Luis Obispo campus for the biggest local pet celebration of the year, the Wiggle Waggle Fall Festival, on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Generously sponsored by Subaru of San Luis Obispo as part of the Subaru Loves Pets® initiative, the free, fall-themed pet celebration expects to welcome more than 800 guests. Activities include kids’ and canine costume contests, photos with Santa Paws by Kelcy Rourke Photography, trick-for-treat training challenges, canine carnival activities such as a stuffed-animal pull, and the Woods Pup-kin Patch.
The festival’s Pet Fair will feature local, pet-themed vendors and food trucks including Old SLO BBQ Taco Truck, The Grinning Bear, Paradise Shaved Ice, Waffle on a Stick, The Caffeinated Cat Café, face painting, and more. Woods Humane Society will also host a half-off dog and cat adoption promotion during the event to help dogs and cats find loving homes.
This year, the first 80 entrants to RSVP for the Costume Contest will receive pup-party-favors, and there will be prizes for the winner in each contest category: Kids, Big Dogs, Little Dogs, and 2 Peas in a Pod.
“Woods Humane Society is celebrating its 70th Anniversary this year and is proud to have been voted the Best Nonprofit many years in a row. In addition to these landmark achievements, we’re thrilled to have found loving homes for 3,162 dogs and cats last fiscal year,” says Woods CEO Emily L’Heureux. “We can’t wait to celebrate with our friends and supporters at the biggest pet party on the Central Coast in an afternoon of pure tail-wagging fun.”
