🌈✨ Rainbow Walkway Reveal ✨🌈
2026-02-21 13:00 - 16:00 | Friends For Life animal shelter, 107 E. 22nd St., Houston, Texas, 77008
On February 21 from 1–4PM, we’re unveiling our brand new Rainbow Walkway, paws and fence and it means more than just bright colors. In response to the removal of Houston’s rainbow crosswalks, we wanted to make one thing crystal clear: love, inclusion, and visibility still live here. Loudly. Proudly. Permanently.

The rainbow walkway, fence, and paws were sponsored by members of our community, turning this space into a shared statement of support, belonging, and “you’re safe here” energy.

To kick things off in the most iconic way possible, Mama Méla Knightley will be unveiling the walkway, fence and paws. Then we’ll keep the celebration going with Drag Queen Bingo, plus snacks, drinks, laughs, and good vibes all around. Finishing the night off with a musical number by our one and only mistress of ceremonies.

This is a come-as-you-are, bring-your-whole-heart kind of event. Everyone is welcome. Always.

Monday Group Run

Live near the Houston Heights? Looking for a group run?

Every Monday evening, a group of runners led by Melissa Taylor meets in the lobby of our animal shelter at 7:00 p.m. We head out at 7:15 p.m. from 107 East 22nd Street for a 4-mile run. Walkers cover 3 miles.

Go at your own pace — no one gets left behind. We meet back at the shelter afterward to make sure everyone returns safely.

Bring a well-behaved dog, or meet one of ours. 🐶
