Friends for Life Benefit at Langford Market

Been a while since you've been properly kissed?  This Thursday, head on over to Langford Market in the Heights, where they are partnering with Friends for Life, one of Houston's few no-kill adoption shelters, for a holiday shopping soiree. A $1 donation will get you a smooch from a pooch in the “Under the Mistletoe” doggie kissing booth. Adoptable cats and dogs will also be there shopping for a few loving families to take them home for the holidays.

They will also be raffling off goodies from Friends For Life goodies, a $100 Langford Market gift certificate, and something pretty from the shop.

10% of proceeds from the evening will benefit Friends For Life’s mission of offering No Kill solutions to the animals of Houston and support programs in the areas of rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, humane education and animal food/supply.

Thursday, December 13
5:00-7:00pm

Need a running partner?

Do you run, walk, stroll, meander or just enjoy spending time outdoors at Memorial Park? Have you been considering adopting a new pet? Need a new running partner? Friends For Life is making it a whole lot easier to meet your lifetime match with the Running 4 Home program.

The Friends For Life’s Mobile Adoption Van (MAV) provides an air-conditioned, clean and quiet environment transporting up to 33 adoptable animals at a time. Outside windows offer viewing under an awning while inside, adopters get a hands-on visit. With the only city permit to do so at Memorial Park, the MAV is parked near the running trail the second Saturday of each month.

By trading an item such as their car keys or driver’s license, runners can “borrow” a dog to accompany them on the trail. This process helps potential adopters get to know the animal, seeing if they are a good fit. Running 4 Home isn’t just for marathon runners-some Friends For Life dogs prefer just a walk in the park. For cat lovers, plenty of felines hang out in the MAV where runners can come on board and meet them.

The second Saturday of every month.
