Holbrook, NY - November 1, 2016 - Hundreds of Long Islanders, along with their pets, came out in force for the Great Pup-Kin Fest presented by Four Seasons Sunrooms & Windows and the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Suffolk SPCA). The primary goal of the event was to raise awareness of shelter animals and to help many of them find their fur-ever home. Based on the high number of pet adoption applications completed during the event, that goal was achieved.

In addition to showcasing many of the wonderful adoptable pets in Long Island shelters, Four Seasons and SPCA Great Pup-Kin Fest featured children, adults and their furry friends in great costumes ranging from a golden retriever dressed like a lion to a milk and cookies pair of dogs and a multi-gree dressed like a racehorse carrying a little jockey.

Not only did the event bring the community out on a bright, sunny day for a family-friendly fall event, but it also accomplished the goal of re-homing many great shelter dogs, puppies, cats and kittens.
