Earth Rated Joins 36th Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade
Thousands of costumed canines will descend upon New York City this October as Earth Rated signs on as an official partner for the 36th annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. The event, scheduled for October 17, remains a cornerstone of Manhattan’s pet culture and a celebration of human-animal connection.

Brian Etcovitch, who oversees the partnership, noted that the event serves as a natural stage to connect with the city's pet-owning community. Beyond the festivities, the parade serves as a vehicle for advocacy. In observation of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, organizers are collaborating with the ASPCA and Animal Care Centers of NYC to highlight local animals in need of homes. Those looking to participate in the march can begin the registration process on September 25 via the official event website.
