Mega Pet Adoption Event

BARC, the City of Houston's Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, is teaming up with Petco Love, BOBS from Skechers, and other Houston-based animal welfare organizations for a mega adoption event, Saturday, Sept. 3, and Sunday, Sept. 4 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. The goal to increase public awareness of pet adoption comes as shelters struggle with a record number of pets in care.

The adoption event features more than 1,000 adoptable pets from several animal welfare organizations. A $35 adoption fee applies to all animals and includes spaying/neutering, microchipping, and age-appropriate pet vaccines. Adopters will need to bring a carrier for a cat (cardboard carriers will be available for purchase), or a leash and collar for a dog (also available for purchase).
