The 16th ANNUAL PETS ON THIRD, created by Third Street South and Neapolitan Enterprises, will take place Sunday, January 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. All proceeds raised will be donated to The Humane Society of Naples. The 2025 Costume Theme is:


"ICONIC PAIRS:

You and your pet go together like….”


Third Street South and Neapolitan Enterprises will match and donate to The Humane Society of Naples 100% of the proceeds raised through the Vendor Village registrations and Pet Parade fees. "We are glad to support the great work of The Humane Society of Naples," states Joan Tobin, of Neapolitan Enterprises. "Third Street South has always been and will always be pet-friendly.


It is wonderful to see a vast array of pet friends and their families on Third Street South at the parade, at the farmer’s market or any other time. We encourage more pet lovers to adopt from responsible nonprofits such as The Humane Society of Naples."

The PET VILLAGE will be in the parking lot located behind the Old Naples Pub and Tommy Bahama Restaurant and will be full of pet-related businesses, non-profit organizations, and the Paws Around Town Bus from The Humane Society of Naples.
