Dogs and cats throughout New Jersey await adoption.

Halloween is a time of family fun ... but it's best not to have the four-legged members of the family TOO involved. Some simple tips from petmd.com:

*  Trick-or-treat candies are not for pets

*  Don't leave pets out in the yard on Halloween

*  Keep pets confined and away from the door

*  Keep glow sticks away from pets

*  Keep Halloween plants such as pumpkins and corn out of reach

*  Don't keep lit pumpkins around pets

*  Keep electric and battery-powered Halloween decorations out of reach

*  Don't dress your pet in a costume without trying it out first; if they hate it, don't use it
