Sponsorships FAQs

I'm going to do WoW with my family and our 1 dog, how many tickets do I need?

Only one ticket is required per dog, regardless of how many humans they are accompanying. But, don't forget, that all of the money raised goes back to the Savannah rescue community. So while you may only need one, feel free to purchase more, or simply make a donation!
Do I/my pet have to dress up?

Well, you don't have to, but what fun would that be?
I purchased a ticket, but now I'm unable to attend. Can I get a refund?

While tickets are nonrefundable donations, they can be transferred to an adoptable dog. Please email to wag@wagoween.org if you wish to transfer your tickets.
When and where can I pick up pre-ordered items?

If you have pre-ordered your event ticket and/or t-shirts you have several options for pickup. You can visit us at one of our pre-weekend events or at the Pre-Registration table at either Pulaski Square or Starland Yard on either the Saturday or Sunday of the event.
Can I participate on both days?

Absolutely! As long as you have your wristband you can continue gathering treats on both days! You can hit it all in one day, or do one day downtown and another day in the Starland area. Whatever works for is great. Just have fun!
Can I donate a ticket so that a foster dog can attend?

Yes! On our ticket page there is an option to 'Donate a Bag'. This will purchase a ticket for a volunteer to take an adoptable dog out trick or treating! Entries will be distributed prior to the event. You do not have to be able to attend the event to gift this opportunity!
Who can participate in the Wiener Races?

This race is open to all breeds but will be broken into Wiener dogs/mixes and non-wieners. 6 dogs will race at a time and the fastest of those runs will be invited back at 4pm for the daily finalist races! You can purchase your entry and sign up for your time slot on-site in Pulaski Square on either Saturday or Sunday of the event weekend.
When is Wag-O-Ween?

Wag-O-Ween 2025 will take place on Saturday, October 25 and Sunday, October 26 from 12 pm - 5 pm both days.
Where is Wag-O-Ween?

Wag-O-Ween takes place all over Historic Downtown Savannah and in Savannah's Starland District.
How does Wag-O-Ween work?

You'll need to purchase a ticket for each participating dog. Tickets can be purchased the weekend of the event, but you are encouraged to pre-purchase them online and pick them up at one of our pick up events in the days leading up to Wag-O-Ween weekend. With each ticket you'll receive a goody bag, an event map, a scavenger hunt card and a wristband. Then you simply follow the map to the participating treat stops in the Downtown and Starland Districts of Savannah, where you and your pup can go trick-or-treating! Costumes highly encouraged!
How much is each ticket & what's included?

Tickets are $12/dog. Included with each ticket is an event goody bag, event map, scavenger hunt card and an event wristband that lets treat stop businesses know that you have paid to play.
If I just want my booth for one day, does it cost less?

No. When you reserve a booth space, you reserve it for the weekend. If you are unable to participate both days, consider the second day a donation back to the community.
Do I have to be present both days for a Booth Space?

While you do not have to be present both days, it is still highly encouraged. Generally we see a completely different set of participants on each day, and you don't want to miss out on any fun!
Where and when do I pick up my goody bag(s) and t-shirt(s)?

If your sponsorship includes goody bag(s) and t-shirt(s), you will have several opportunities to pick them up in the days leading up to Wag-O-Ween weekend. You can pick them up at the Wag-O-Ween booth at the Ardsley Market on Sunday, Oct 20 or at Locally Made Savannah on Broughton Street during business hours from Monday, Oct 21 - Friday Oct 25.
