The Helen Woodward Animal Center is getting San Diego into Comic-Con mood early by hosting their 7th annual PAWmicon. If you’re a local San Diegan (or get into town early), you can come to this free event at the Comic-Con Museum on Sunday, July 7 starting at AM. The comic-inspired event will feature pet cosplay contests, themed photo opportunities, music, games and activities for kids, geek trivia, opportunity drawings, food, vendors and more. All proceeds benefit the animals and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Tickets start at just $10, and are on sale now.
