SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Helen Woodward Animal Center and Blue Buffalo bring you the 11th Annual PAWmicon, presented by Fetch Pet Insurance Sunday.
The annual family-friendly event began as a cute adoption gimmick in 2012 after observing a parallel between orphaned pets and Comic-Con attendees.
"While comic book enthusiasts wait all year for Comic-Con International, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite action-adventure stars, orphan dogs and cats at Helen Woodward Animal Center will wait a lifetime to meet their superheroes – individuals with one sole mission…to rescue an orphan pet."
Over the years, the event has gained popularity and global attention.
This year's event will be held at AleSmith Brewing Company at 9990 AleSmith Ct, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The event is free but for those wanting their pets to participate in the Pawsplay Costume Contest, it's $20 per pup. Entry into the trivia contest is $40 for teams (three to four people)
