Costumed critters

Becky Bentley, employee at Cottonwood Animal Hospital, puts a hat on her dog, Mayci, Saturday to complete the dog’s Halloween costume at Cottonwood Animal Shelter, 3161 K-68 Highway, during a costume contest to raise funds for the Bea Martin Peck Animal Shelter. The shelter is building a new facility in the 3100 block of K-68 Highway. Organizers said nearly $300 was raised for the shelter.
