Houston SPCA Shelter Tours

The Houston SPCA offers tours of our facility at 900 Portway Drive, Houston, TX.  The tours are an educational experience for adult and youth groups alike.  

Youth Tours:

In our tours for youth groups, you will have an opportunity to learn about the services the Houston SPCA offers and also see first-hand the animals, including farm and domestic animals, who are waiting for their forever families.  Because of safety and health concerns, we do not offer direct contact with our animals.
