Kootenai Humane Society is inviting the community to submit photos of costume-clad pets for its annual Halloween Pet Costume Contest.
Development director Vicky Nelson said she had already received about 40 entries by Tuesday morning.
"They are hysterical," she said. "I don’t know how we’re going to pick just one."
The creative and fun photos have so far included a chocolate lab dressed up as one of the kids from "Harry Potter," complete with a scarf and hat, and a feline in a magician costume, with a magician's hat and magic wand.
"There's another one, a black and white dog, and they dressed him up like a panda," Nelson said. "They are amazing, just as cute as could be."
One winner for the best dog photo will receive a basket full of canine goodies, and the best feline costume photo winner will win a basket of cat-approved prizes.
"It’s just to have fun with your pet, spend time with your pet and make sure you're doing it safely. We don't want any animals to get hurt," Nelson said.
All photos need to be received by 9 a.m. Friday. Winners will be announced that afternoon.
