Pups N' Pumpkins Event Returns to Boca Center to Support Animal Rescue Efforts

The Shops at Boca Center will host the return of Pups N' Pumpkins on Tuesday, October 28, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 5150 Town Center Circle in Boca Raton. This community event brings together residents and their canine companions for an evening of festive fall activities while supporting animal welfare efforts.

The event features a Halloween pet costume contest where furry contestants can compete for prize packages of gift cards from Boca Center merchants. Throughout the evening, attendees can explore special offerings from the center's shops and restaurants, enjoy live music, seasonal tastes and sips, and participate in themed activities designed for both human and canine guests.

Tickets are priced at $20 per person, with all proceeds benefiting Tri-County Animal Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. The event serves as an important fundraising opportunity for the rescue organization while providing community engagement and seasonal entertainment.

Event check-in will be located in the Center Courtyard between Rocco's Tacos and Tap 42. The combination of festive activities, merchant participation, and charitable support makes this event significant for both community building and animal welfare advocacy in the Boca Raton area.

The importance of this event extends beyond the immediate entertainment value, as it provides crucial financial support for Tri-County Animal Rescue's mission of animal rescue and rehabilitation. Community-based fundraising events like Pups N' Pumpkins enable nonprofit organizations to continue their vital work while raising awareness about animal welfare issues.

By combining seasonal festivities with charitable giving, the event demonstrates how local businesses and community members can collaborate to support important causes. The participation of Boca Center merchants through prize donations and special offerings further amplifies the event's impact, creating a multiplier effect for the funds raised.
