Costume-clad canines and pups in strollers joined in the fun at the kissing booth, yoga tent and treat stands, which drew hundreds to the west end of the promenade on a bright, sunny day.

The non-profit Pet ResQ was founded more than 20 years ago by Robyn Urman, a Tenafly hair dresser from Dumont committed to rescuing unwanted, abused and special needs pooches.

"I am honored and humbled by all of the support and so proud to be a positive, giving influence on all these kids," Urman said. "They are amazing."

John McKiernan, 12, handed Urman $80 that he collected with a lemonade stand. McKiernan, who walks dogs in his Tenafly neighborhood, promised more to come.

"I just hope it helps them find homes," he said.
