Make a Difference: Donate to Local Animal Shelters Along with delightful activities, Spooky Tails has a heartwarming mission. Attendees are encouraged to bring donations for the Wake County Animal Shelters. Items such as new or lightly used blankets, large towels, canned pet food, or treats will be beneficial.
