U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart’s Army Community Service Family Advocacy Program and the Stuttgart Veterinary Clinic partnered, Oct. 20, for a unique event while highlighting information on Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Participants and their pups gathered in costume at the Panzer Kaserne Vet Clinic to have their pictures taken for a costume contest, meet and mingle with fellow pet owners, and enjoy some sweet treats.

Stuttgart community members were invited to vote on the best costume via Facebook. Prizes were awarded to the top three photos with the most “Likes.”

Contestant photos were posted on both the Stuttgart Veterinary Clinic and the USAG Stuttgart ACS Facebook pages.
