Petco Love will bring 1,500+ adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens to Reliant Arena in Houston on November 7th and 8th. The nonprofit’s Jump into Joy Pet Adoption Event will unite pets from 24 Petco Love partner animal welfare organizations. It is the flagship event in Petco Love’s national adoption weekend. Petco Love is joining forces with Warner Bros.
A Weekend for Adoption
Animal lovers can visit Reliant Arena, at 1 NRG Parkway in Houston, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on November 7th and November 8th. Adoption fees will be low on Saturday and waived on Sunday. Saturday fast passes cost $100 and allow adopters to enter from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m.
Chelsea Staley, President at Petco Love, said:
“Like The Cat in the Hat, pets have a way of turning an ordinary day into an adventure. With 1,500 adoptable pets and more than 20 of our shelter and rescue partners coming together in Houston, pet lovers have an incredible opportunity to find a new family member —and bring home more love, laughter and fun. We're excited to help make this a weekend full of new beginnings.”
National Adoption Weekend
Participating Petco locations and shelters will also offer chances to meet adoptable pets in communities throughout the weekend. Petco Love has helped find loving homes for more than 7.2 million pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 animal welfare partner organizations nationwide, including in Houston and throughout Texas.
The national campaign includes a public service announcement featuring Actor Bill Hader, star and executive producer of The Cat in the Hat. People can visit JumpIntoJoy.com to learn about pet adoption.
