Annual Pumpkin Drive

About the Drive

Every fall, Hooksaurus organizes the Annual Pumpkin Drive to collect donated pumpkins for sanctuary animals across San Diego County. Animals at local sanctuaries love pumpkins — they provide enrichment, nutrition, and a whole lot of fun. Whether your pumpkins are carved, uncarved, or just past their prime, the animals will be thrilled.

Drop off your pumpkins at any of our convenient locations throughout the county. The drive runs each October through early November. No painted or artificial pumpkins, please.
