The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), a non-profit animal welfare organization, held its annual Halloween fundraiser last weekend at Ayala Malls Vertis North.
Now on its 15th Year, Scaredy Cats & Dogs has grown to be the grandest and much-anticipated pet costume competition in the country.
Here are some of the mind-blowing entries this year.

Ayen the chihuahua and her owner Sherilyn Latayan won the Best Ghoulish Partners Award. They made a creepy pair with their bloodied faces contrasting their beautiful bridal gowns.
