HEAVEN TURNED TRASH INTO TREASURE AND SNAGGED THE TOP SPOT IN OUR PUP COSTUME CONTEST!

This year’s Costume Contest has come to a close, and we’re thrilled to announce our grand prize winner: Heaven, who dressed up as one of everyone’s favorite little dumpster divers — a Trash Panda!

Her creative costume was a labor of love and sustainability. Made entirely from recycled and reused materials, Heaven’s paw-rent, Jackie, transformed a simple Costco box into a dumpster, painted with supplies from a free-cycle group and filled it with actual wrappers and bottles collected from Jackie’s past snacks. Even the fabric came from leftover projects. Talk about a DIY masterpiece!

Jackie’s love of Halloween and passion for pups shine through in every costume. “I have always loved Halloween, and I absolutely adore dogs. Getting crafty is always a highlight for me, so I look forward to Halloween every year!” she shared. It’s no wonder Heaven’s Trash Panda stole our hearts.

But that’s not all... Jackie and Heaven are expert travelers! Together, they’ve explored 48 U.S. states, making them the perfect candidates for their grand prize: a two-night Staypineapple getaway, complete with goodies handpicked just for Heaven.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered this year’s contest! Some pups’ costumes gave us a good scare, some had us laughing out loud and some left us utterly speechless. With hundreds of amazing entries, we can’t wait to see what incredible creations you bring next year!
