Join us November 7–8 at NRG Park in Houston for the Petco Love Jump Into Joy Pet Adoption Event, inspired by The Cat in the Hat! Meet adoptable dogs and cats ready to find loving homes.

The biggest pet adoption event of the year is just around the corner! Best Friends' Super Adoption will showcase hundreds of adoptable dogs and cats from rescues and shelters all across the region.

This year's Super Adoption, scheduled for Saturday, November 14, from 10 am to 5 pm, is a single-day extravaganza of lifesaving. It will take place at the Campus Plaza on the beautiful grounds of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and will feature local vendors, prizes, food, music, and of course, lots of adorable, adoptable pets who are looking for homes just like yours.

Last year's Super Adoption helped more than 230 pets find homes, including every cat at the event.

Let us know you're planning to attend, and we'll send you reminders before the event so you don't miss out on any of the fun. Plus, we’ll keep you in the loop with heartwarming rescue stories, fun events, and other ways to get involved.

Featuring dozens of rescue groups and animal shelters from across the state of California, Best Friends Super Adoption is the perfect way to meet hundreds of adoptable cats and dogs in one convenient spot. So bring the family and enjoy pet-related vendors, kid-friendly activities, food, a photo booth, and more. RSVP to get 10 a.m. early entry to the event.
