HOWES CAVE — Reverse Trick-or-Treating at the Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley took place this past weekend and was once again a huge success. Children and adults alike visited the shelter to shower the animals with attention and treats — both of which they absolutely love. From adorable little cows to fairies and animal doctors, the creative costumes added to the fun, and the animals enjoyed every moment of the beautiful day.

Now in its fourth year, this heartwarming event has become one of the shelter’s most popular community gatherings, drawing visitors from near and far to share kindness and treats with the shelter’s furry residents.

The Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley (ASSV) is the only shelter in Schoharie County serving both cats and dogs. It provides a safe, loving environment for animals until they find their forever homes. This year, the ASSV proudly celebrates its 50th year of service to the community.
