2nd Annual Pet Halloween Costume Contest!

Deck out your doggy and join us on October 25th at 1pm for our second annual Pet Costume Contest! Last year was a blast and we're looking forward to some fierce competition and many happy dogs this year.

We're giving out four prizes:

1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd place, and Best Human and Dog Duo!



Here's Abbey, 1st Place Winner in '07! Unfortunately, we didn't get any photos from the actual contest when she was dressed as Mummy Dog. This picture is from a few months later when Abbey sauntered into the store as Santa.


Don't forget, Piedmont Avenue's Annual Halloween Costume Parade starts at 11 that morning. The 25th is a very dog friendly day on the Ave!




Here are a few of the Halloween costumes we have in stock:


Cat and Kitten Adoption Fairs

We are proud to host cat and kitten adoption fairs! We work with wonderful non-profit groups dedicated to animal rescue.

Currently, Maine Coon Adoptions brings beautiful Maine Coon cats the third Saturday of every month. The kitties are here from 11am until 3pm.

Saving Grace Rescue brings kittens every Sunday from 11am until 5pm, or until they are all adopted!

We've also hosted Hopalong (a rescue group based out of Oakland and Marin County) cat and kitten adoptions.


Visit the links above to see adoptable cats!

Wall of Fame.


First timers (of the human species) to Paws on Piedmont always notice our wall of Polaroid portraits. We snapped the first picture on day one, and one and a half years later we've photographed hundreds of neighborhood dogs (and a few cats) who have visited our store! The wall behind the counter is filled with happy dog smiles.




(By the way, first timers of the canine species tend to comment on the delicious treats instead of the pictures!)

Welcome!
