Help warm noses and save lives with Houston SPCA this Giving Tuesday

Each year on Giving Tuesday, which is always the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, nonprofit organizations reach far and wide to people who want to make a difference by supporting a cause, such as the Houston SPCA.

That’s why the city’s first and largest animal welfare organization will be on Facebook Live all day to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look of their campus, including triage and surgery; take viewers along for a ride with Animal Cruelty Investigations; and catch the award-winning equine and farm animal team at work in the Equine and Rescue Center.

There will also be cameos from a few notable Houstonians throughout the day, who will share how they support Giving Tuesday.

Here's a look at the day's schedule:

• 8 am: Veterinary services
• 9 am: Lisa Hernandez, news anchor, advocate and one of Houston’s well-known rescue dog moms
• 9:30 am: Equine and Rescue Center
• 10 am: Adoptions
• 11 am: Fostering
• 12-3 pm: Ride along with an Animal Cruelty Investigations and Rescue Ambulance
• 2:30 pm: Wildlife Center of Texas
• 3 pm: Transfer programs
• 4 pm: Houston Texans punter Cameron Johnston and wife Tia
• 5 pm: Special message from Jo Sullivan, Houston SPCA's chief community and development officer

The Houston SPCA is a private, 501(c) (3) organization and is not tax-supported or affiliated with any local or national organization, and relies solely on donations. Please consider giving to the Houston SPCA on Giving Tuesday, November 30.
