“We are proud to present Home for the Holidays for the 35th year in a row, thanks to our longtime partnership with NorthPark Center,” said SPCA of Texas president and CEO Chris Luna, J.D.
“This holiday program brings joy to the community and allows hundreds of pets to find loving homes during such a special time of the year.
“Home for the Holidays also showcases two very special partner organizations — the American Institute of Architects Dallas and TEXO, The Construction Association. This year marks our 11th annual collaboration with them to support vulnerable pets in North Texas. I look forward each year to seeing the amazing designs and constructions these creative professionals contribute to the SPCA of Texas through ‘Bark + Build.’”

Tickets can be purchased at home25@givesmart.com through Tuesday, Dec. 23. Proceeds benefit the SPCA of Texas and its mission to create a brighter future for animals, people, and the community.
