WHAT: The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center invites all interested humans to bring their favorite furry friends to the annual “Pup Crawl and Pet Expo,” at the Houston Arboretum on Sunday, Mar. 3. After four special Saint Arnold Brewing Company beer stops along the Arboretum trails, guests will interact with local pet vendors at the Pet Expo and walk away with a commemorative Pup Crawl glass.
The Pet Expo will include vendors offering human and pet accessories and apparel, custom pet illustrations, doggie daycare boarding and spa services, handmade pet accessories, and more.
Proceeds support the conservation and education programs of the Houston Arboretum and BARC, the City of Houston’s animal shelter and adoption center. Pet adoptions will also be available onsite.
The Arboretum asks that all pets be leashed for the safety of guests and other dogs during the event. Besides “Pup Crawl,” people are welcome to bring their dogs on leashes to explore the sights, sounds and smells of the Arboretum’s five miles of trails, open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to dusk.
This event is rain or shine. If the event is cancelled, the ticket price is considered a donation to the organizations.
