HOUSTON \u2013 Sometimes the best teammates don\u2019t wear cleats \u2014 they have four legs and a wagging tail. While the FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 has Houston buzzing, there\u2019s another kind of match happening this Saturday that might just be the most rewarding one yet.<\/p>\n

Best Friends Animal Society is hosting its Bring Love Home Adoption Event<\/a> on Saturday, June 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Garage HTX, located at 1201 Oliver St., Suite 106, in Houston. More than 100 adoptable cats and dogs will be looking for their fur-ever homes \u2014 and the best part? Adoption fees are completely waived.<\/p>\n

To make the day even sweeter, every adopted pet goes home with a special match-day adoption pack, which includes pet food and a toy to welcome their new teammate home.<\/p>\n

Best Friends<\/a> has partnered with eight shelter partners and rescue groups throughout the greater Houston area to bring this event to life \u2014 a reminder of just how many animals are still waiting for a home. You\u2019ll meet the cutest animals from SPCA of Brazoria County, Sugar Land Animal Services, Galveston Island Humane Society and more.<\/p>\n

Houston-area shelters and rescue groups are currently caring for thousands of homeless pets. Choosing to adopt rather than purchasing from a pet store or breeder is one of the most impactful ways to help. <\/p>\n

If adoption isn\u2019t in the cards right now, there are still ways to get involved. Volunteers and temporary foster families are always needed to help save more lives.<\/p>\n

Best Friends Animal Society has been championing homeless pets since 1984, when a group of friends \u2014 along with roughly 200 rescued dogs and cats, a few bunnies and birds, and a couple of burros \u2014 settled in a remote canyon in Utah\u2019s high desert. Those first steps would launch what became the nationwide no-kill movement for homeless pets.<\/p>\n

Watch the interview in the video above to meet some of this weekend\u2019s adoptable pets. For more information about the organization, fostering or volunteering, visit bestfriends.org\/houston<\/a>.<\/p>\n
