Texas Week for the Animals

The official state motto of Texas is “Friendship,” and from April 2 – 10 animal lovers across the Lone Star State will celebrate the joy that friendship with all of our furry, finned and feathered friends brings to our lives during Texas Week for the Animals, a pet holiday recognized by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Following is just a small sample of the many pet adoption events, fundraisers and low-cost clinics that will mark the occasion.
