More Than 1,500 Cats and Dogs Await Homes in Houston as Petco Love National Adoption Weekend Opens
More than 1,500 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are expected at Reliant Arena in Houston, Texas, this weekend, as shelters and rescue organizations from across the region gather for one of the area's largest pet adoption events. Hosted by the nonprofit Petco Love, the Jump Into Joy Pet Adoption Event runs November 7 and 8, bringing together animals from more than 20 animal welfare organizations, including Harris County Pets, Fort Bend County Animal Services and Montgomery County Animal Services.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days at Reliant Arena, 1 NRG Parkway, in Houston's NRG Park complex. Adoption fees will be $50 on Saturday, November 7, and completely waived on Sunday, November 8. The Houston event is the flagship of Petco Love's national adoption weekend, with participating shelters and Petco locations across the country holding adoption events at the same time.
The event is held in partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and its new full-length animated film *The Cat in the Hat*, which opened in theaters across North America on November 6. Inspired by the film, the campaign invites people to embrace the joy of bringing a pet home through adoption. Petco Love said it has helped find homes for more than 7.2 million pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 animal welfare organizations nationwide.
In Jacksonville, Florida, the Jacksonville Humane Society is also taking part in the national adoption weekend, waiving adoption fees on Saturday, November 7, and Sunday, November 8. About 100 adoptable pets are available at the society's location at 8464 Beach Boulevard and at a Petco store in Fleming Island. All pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated before adoption.
