This weekend, Arlington’s furry friends are ditching the sticks for Halloween treats.
Several local spots are going all out with pooch-friendly Halloween events but one venue is taking it to the next level.
Pups take over The Commentary in Ballston
This Saturday, The Commentary Social House inside The Westin Arlington at 801 N. Glebe Road is hosting “Pups on The Patio” from 4-7 p.m.
Adoptable dogs from the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation will be there, dressed in their Halloween best. Pups will be able to eat “doggy dishes,” such as chicken strips and sweet potato bites. Plus, 20% of proceeds from those dishes go straight to the rescue foundation.
On Sunday, The Commentary will host a “Howl-O-Ween Canine Costume Garden Soirée” from 12-2 p.m. “Doggy dishes” will return and Bright Eyes Photos DC will take mini photo shoots, followed by a costume contest.
