Grapevine, TX (February 18, 2025) — Meow Wolf Grapevine’s The Real Unreal has seen its share of strange occurrences including time loops in the kitchen, forgotten pockets of reality, and a fridge that may or may not lead to the slug-focused dimension. But on Saturday, February 22, something even more unexpected is happening: dogs. Not dream creatures or spectral anomalies—real, tail-wagging, face-licking dogs, ready to escape the mysteries of the Meow Wolf Grapevine and land in the warm embrace of a forever home.
Meow Wolf Grapevine is partnering with Grapevine Animal Services to bring guests Portal Pets, a one-day interdimensional adoption event where guests can meet, interact with, and adopt a new
four-legged family member. Between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., a select group of adoptable dogs will be stationed inside the Matt King Mystery Center, each one hoping to step through a final portal from kennel to couch. Guests will be able to meet and interact with adoptable pets in the Matt King Mystery Center. You do not have to purchase tickets to access this space or adopt these animals.
Visitors 18 and older can participate in on-site adoptions by completing a short questionnaire and providing a valid ID and credit card. Adoption fees are $75 per dog, per Grapevine Animal Services.
“Meow Wolf is no stranger to the unexplained, but a sudden appearance of adoptable dogs in our mystery center might be the most delightful twist yet,” said Connor Gray, PR Manager at Meow Wolf Grapevine. “These pups are looking for their next adventure, and we hope guests will answer that call.”
Guests can also visit a donation station in the lobby to support Grapevine Animal Services and learn more about local pet adoption programs. For more information on Meow Wolf events and programs, visit meowwolf.com/visit/grapevine or follow @MeowWolfGrapevine on social media.
