Welcome to Passaic County Paws in the Park

Where Community Meets Compassion for Animals

At Passaic County Paws in the Park, we celebrate the incredible bond between people and their pets while raising funds to support animal advocacy efforts.  This annual event brings together pet lovers, local organizations, and the community for a day of fun, education, and connection—all for a great cause.  

Join us for a memorable experience filled with:

  • Exciting Pet Contests: Show off your furry friend’s best costume, tricks, or their look-alike resemblance!
  • Interactive Demonstrations: Witness the amazing skills of the Sheriff’s K-9 Unit and Mounted Patrol.
  • Pet Adoptions: Meet adorable pets from local rescue organizations looking for their forever homes.
  • Vibrant Vendor Village: Discover products, services, and resources for pets and pet lovers alike.
  • Live Entertainment and Activities: Enjoy music, food trucks, a beer garden, and more family-friendly fun! 

 

Supporting Animal Advocacy

100% of funds raised during Paws in the Park directly benefit the Passaic County Sheriff’s K-9 and Mounted Patrol Units, as well as other animal advocacy initiatives across the county.  Together, we’re making a difference in the lives of animals and the people who care for them.
