You and your pooch will have a spooktacular time exploring our haunted hotel, with tricks and treats around every corner!

This unfurgettable event is a chance to celebrate spooky szn with your loved ones while also supporting a deeply meaningful cause. We are SO excited to support our friends at Frosted Faces, and we’d love to tell you more about them and their critical work. 

Frosted Faces Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization that delivers the promise of family and quality veterinary care for senior animals whose love and lives are in jeopardy.

Frosted Faces Foundation was originally born from a passionate love of dogs. It all started when founders Kelly & Andy adopted their first two dogs- an adorable, bonded pair of 5 year old pups named Fritz and Gus- and immediately loved them beyond measure. As Kelly & Andy came to understand that dogs like Fritz & Gus were being surrendered by their guardians and not offered the accommodations or medical care they deserved, it moved them to develop a solution. To this day, their motto remains, “To love, is to act.”

Kelly & Andy began volunteering at a shelter and fostering dogs- really any dog who had spent too much time in his/her kennel. The trend became that they were fostering the senior dogs who had been relinquished back to the organization, and it was then that they recognized that senior pups needed their own unique network.

Once founders Kelly & Andy realized their capacity for care in their own home, they quickly wanted to expand their efforts.. Kelly & Andy started reaching out to friends and promised that if they would foster a senior dog, they would pay for his/her food and veterinary bills out of their own pocket. 

Their meaningful mission swiftly gained momentum, prompting Kelly & Andy to incorporate the Frosted Faces Foundation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2014. For two years they recruited and supported over 200 families to love abandoned senior dogs- “Frosted Faces”- as their own, funding lifelong medical care & supplies as an incentive for those extraordinary families. In 2017, Kelly & Andy started the Frosted Feline program to rescue senior cats as well.

With growth they purchased a Frosted Faces Foundation facility in 2016, enabling them to rescue more time-sensitive cases and animals who required far more rehabilitation medically & behaviorally than an average foster could provide immediately. Although Kelly & Andy love all of the Frosted Faces as their own and FFF is a beautiful space that provides a quality life, their mission is clear that they are not a sanctuary. The ultimate goal has always been and remains to find all Frosted Faces families of their own who will author their last chapters as love stories. 

Frosted Faces Foundation doesn’t just rescue dogs—they engage the community in critical rescue work, offering volunteer opportunities and educating the public about the challenges and rewards of adopting senior animals. In addition, they’ve developed innovative programs to help pet guardians keep their senior pets at home by providing resources and education, thus reducing the number of dogs surrendered to shelters due to age or medical needs. Through partnerships with other rescue organizations, Kelly and Andy are constantly learning and adapting their approach to better support both animals and their human companions.

By supporting this year’s Haunted Howl-O-Ween Party, you’ll be directly supporting the Frosted Faces Foundation’s life-saving mission and rescue work. Every dollar raised will help provide essential medical care, food, and shelter for senior dogs who might otherwise be overlooked. It’s a cause that truly makes a difference, and we’re sincerely honored to be a part of it.

Mark your calendars, gather your pups, and join us for a night of frightful fun! Whether it’s posing with Cruella, strutting your stuff in our Costume Contest, or bidding on some PAWSOME Silent Auction items, you’re in for an unfurgettable evening! And best of all, you’ll be making a real difference in the lives of senior dogs who need it the most. ❤️

We can’t wait to see you at Wag Hotels’ 9th Annual Haunted Howl-O-Ween Party—it’s going to be a tail-wagging, spine-tingling celebration! Don’t miss out on this chance to have a blast while supporting the incredible work of the Frosted Faces Foundation. 🎃🐾
