We know you’re the type of person who’s always pulling for pets. But now, we want you to actually PULL for pets!
What: Emancipet's Pulling for Pets returns this year just in time for Haul-O-Ween! Presented by Tito's Handmade Vodka and Vodka for Dog People, this one-day event features teams of ghosts and goblins (and pet lovers!) competing to pull a fire truck over 20 feet in the fastest time. But speed isn't the only thing that counts in this tournament - awards will be given out for best costumes, top individual and team fundraisers, and a couple surprise categories!
Every $16 raised sponsors a pet in Emancipet’s mission to make veterinary care affordable and accessible for everyone.
No matter the outcome, people and their pets are the winners (plus some serious bragging rights that you pulled a truck)! Plus all attendees are invited to join us for drink specials, costume contests, and more at Texas' Oldest Carft Brewery!
Cost: $25 for Adults, $20 for Students (free for spectators!)
When: Sunday, October 24th, 2021. Registration begins at 10:30AM, with the Pull kicking off at 11AM
Where: Saint Arnold Brewing Company - 2000 Lyons Avenue, Houston, TX 77020
Benefits: Every dollar raised goes to support Emancipet's mission to make veterinary care affordable and accessible for everyone. Your life-changing support at this event goes directly to ensuring Houston pet owners have access to low-cost vet care. You can carry the weight, even if just for one day, for a person who feels like vet care is out of reach because of financial barriers.
What to wear: Comfortable athletic wear and closed toe shoes with tread. We recommend bringing gloves (although they aren't required). Participants will be emailed instructions and tips before event day.
Questions: If you have any questions or are interested in sponsoring Houston's Pulling for Pets: Haul-O-Ween, please contact Angelita Sampaio, Vice President Emancipet Houston at: angelita.sampaio@emancipet.org
So what'd ya say? Are you in it with us? Ready to pull for pets?!
Want to come cheer us on? This event is free to attend. Participants planning on pulling the fire truck are the only folks that need to register online in advance with a donation of $20-$25.
