HOUSTON — If you've been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, you will have hundreds to choose from this weekend at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston.
Petco Love is hosting a Mega Adoption Event® with over 1,000 animals on Aug. 17 and 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
More than 20 Houston-area shelters and rescue organizations will have dogs and cats of all ages, shapes and sizes at the two-day event.
Adoption fees are just $35, which includes spaying and neutering, current vaccinations and microchipping.
More than 3,400 pets found homes at four previous Mega Adoption Events in Houston.
"We are thrilled to celebrate 25 years of love and compassion with another Mega Adoption event in Houston. The lives of so many pets and people are about to change and all for the better,” said Petco Love President, Susanne Kogut. “Shelter workers and volunteers work tirelessly to save these pets – and the feeling they get when the pets find loving homes fuels their passion to continue their lifesaving mission.”
Attendees should bring a leash and collar for a dog adoption (also available for purchase), a carrier for a cat (cardboard carriers will be available for purchase), a valid ID and the adoption fee.
Petco Love is partnering with Montgomery County Animal Shelter, Best Friends Animal Society, Brandywine Valley SPCA (BVSPCA) and sponsor BOBS® from Skechers®.
“The Greater Houston area is filled with pet lovers,” said Aaron Johnson, Director of the Montgomery County Animal Shelter. “We’ve partnered with so many amazing groups serving Houston and the surrounding communities to collaborate and create one of the largest pet adoption events in the country.”
