WHAT: Houston Arboretum & Nature Center invites you to bring your favorite furry friend to the annual “Saint Arnold Pup Crawl & Pet Expo” at the Houston Arboretum on Sunday, March 2 from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. After four special beer stops along the Arboretum trails, you’ll enjoy local pet vendors at the expo and walk away with a commemorative Pup Crawl glass.
While on the trails, you’re invited to participate in a doggy scavenger hunt where you can meet adoptable dogs from BARC foster care along the way. Meet them all for a chance to win fun prizes. There will also be a raffle for exciting offerings like dog gift baskets, a pet photography session, a free private dog training consultation, and more, so don’t forget to get your raffle tickets too.
The Pet Expo will include vendors offering handmade pet clothing and accessories, dog treats, grooming services, local art, 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. We encourage guests to consider adopting one of these precious pups.
Dogs are welcome at the event. 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.
