Join us for Elevated Evenings: A Personal and Professional Development Series Presented by Sewell – All About Animals!

Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes at the SPCA of Texas? This Elevated Evenings session brings together our incredible shelter team—including behavior specialists, veterinary staff, and animal care experts—for a deep dive into what it takes to care for animals in our shelter and beyond.

We’ll also open the floor for a live Q&A where you can get expert advice on your own pets—whether it’s behavioral quirks, vet care questions, or enrichment ideas. This is your chance to connect with animal experts, gain practical tips, and walk away with a deeper understanding of what it takes to keep all pets—shelter or owned—happy and healthy.
