Family-friendly pet adoption event with more than 1,500 adoptable dogs and cats, inspired by 'The Cat in the Hat'.
Petco Love is bringing Jump into Joy to Reliant Arena on November 7 and 8, their flagship family-friendly adoption event. The whole thing is built around the playful, whimsical spirit of The Cat in the Hat, and they're bringing more than 1,500 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens together under one roof. There will be special photo opportunities and swag for visitors throughout the weekend.
If you're not quite ready to bring a pet home, you can still meet them. Beyond the Houston event, you can find adoptable pets at participating Petco locations or connect with your local shelter or rescue. For those who do decide to adopt, there are a few requirements: you have to be 18 or older with a valid photo ID and proof of address. Every animal leaves spayed or neutered and microchipped.
