Houston SPCA offering free museum tickets with pet adoption

People adopting animals from the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals from now through Sunday, Sept. 23 will have a chance to receive free tickets to the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition.

The exhibit marks the 100-year anniversary of the Titanic's sinking, which claimed the lives of 1,500 people and 12 dogs, according to a press release. In memory of that loss, the museum is giving away 100 pairs of tickets to the exhibition to the first 100 adoptions from the Houston SPCA during the offer period. This offer is good while supplies last.

Animals at the Houston SPCA shelter are there for various reasons, including being surrendered by their owners, being found as strays or having been neglected or abused.

An adoption package at the shelter includes a health evaluation, initial vaccinations and rabies vaccinations for canines and felines 3 months and older, spay/neuter surgery, deworming, microchipping with free lifetime registration, heartworm testing for canines 6 months and older, a complimentary comprehensive wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospital and one free bag of dog or cat food, courtesy of Hills Science Diet.

For more information or to adopt an animal and receive free exhibit tickets, visit the Houston SPCA, 900 Portway Drive, Houston. The facility is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
