My son and I and Brittney (American Bulldog) we had a nice time. We were very lucky to find a parking place, we were there 1 hour early and it was extremely crowded, the large parking lots were full by the Balboa Pier. After we parked we waited by the ferris wheel for at least 1/2 hour or more with a few other club members. No show of the organizers, so a few of us went accross the ferry and found a nice place near the ferry to watch the boat parade. Didn't wait for the fire works, did not go see any decorated homes on the island. Basically the whole event fell apart and people went either their separate ways or went with a few others here and there as far as we could tell. Nothing that was "planned for weeks ahead of time" turned out. Perhaps it was just too many people and no parking places. I feel that there were probably a lot of very disappointed people who wanted to do this but were unable to because of the parking problems. Perhaps an earlier date would be better next year. -
disappointed in turn out, we got there early like we were told and most of the sign up were a now show, next time we need phone number to call the organizers to find out if it was cancelled if they are no shows -
Drove around and around and could not find PARKING ! We went on auto ferry across and somehow landed on a dead end street where we got to see the last 7 mins of the boat parade !! Later, we crossed and barely saw the grand finale of the fireworks!! Brought my mom and daughter. We drove from Rancho Cucamonga as I had to pick up my daughter from her job.......— Cristina

Parking was so difficult for that location that we weren't able to attend. It was a bummer evening.— Stephen & Brandi Terry (Founders & Organizers)

It seems like a lot of people weren't able to make it due to traffic. I had to park pretty far from the Fun Zone and walk, but it was totally worth it - Philip and I had a great time hanging out watching the boats, and chatting with the people we did find :) -

Worthy cause, dogs & dog people, Santa photos... Great!! And cupcakes for $1 donation. If it were possible to add one of those fun food trucks and casual seating area, it would be perfect. -

It was a great event! I met several people from the Irvine Animal Shelter however I was trying to meet members of PAWS. I did not realize as a brand new member this was not a exclusive PAWS event. Therefore I did not actually meet anyone from PAWS. -

We want to everyone who came out and participated. It was a wonderful day, with lots of Paws in Costume. Old World was great with allowing the dogs inside and we couldn't have held this event without their help. Thanks to the Sponsors for donating great prizes for the winner of the Costume Contest which was a Chia Pet, so cute! It was really a great day, and best of all, with this event and previous events the Paw It Forward Campaign's December Pawliday Dog Adoption Event being held at O.C. Animal Care has been funded. So Thank You Everyone for Pawing It Forward and coming out to this Howling Halloween Pawty!

Lots of room to walk around with the dogs and mingle at tables. The races were fun to watch.— ~Patricia~ (Co-Organizer)

Had a blast. Lots of adorable pups and very nice people. Weather was perfect as well. The Terry's did an awesome job putting this all together. Hope lots of $$ was raised. Riley, the Big Kahuna, had a good time and looks forward to re-match for next year.— Teri

Such a great group of people, and some of proceeds going to a great cause! Plus an informative speaker, kudos to the organizers! -
Thanks to everyone who came out for Pawco Taco Tuesday. Sharky's food was Killer as always. Thanks to David and Carla for talking on pet food nutrition and answering the questions. We hope to have another great time there again in the future.

park was nice, dinner was nice

The Filling Station Cafe was great. The food was fantastic and the service couldn't have been better. We appreciate everyone who attend and helped Cadence with her diabetes dog "Fish". We were able to raise $308.00 all of which will be going to help with "Fish's" needs so Cadence can lead a little more normal life. Special Recognition to Michelle B. for creating such cool buttons for everyone. It was really nice, thank you Michelle. God Bless and Thank You All!

Both the dog park and the dinner were excellent. We were happy to attend and support Cadence and meeting such nice people made it a great evening. Thank you to Stephen and Brandy for planning an event closer to our north county home! -
The locastion was great! The service and food was also very good! Loved meeting new people and seeing the support for Cadence and Fish! It's just too bad not everyone showed up! With over 46 RSVP's who said they were coming, only about 16 people showed up. That was kind of disappointing since the whole purpose of this event was to show our support for a 4 yr old little girl and her life saving doggie!...If you RSVP yes, please believe that people are counting on your support. -
