Why should our pets miss out on all the Valentine’s Day fun? Even though they can’t have any chocolate hearts, there are still some fun Valentine’s Day events for pet lovers.

Find your own “furry valentine” at this pet adoptions event in Uptown Dallas. Presented by Downtown Dallas Inc., The Petropolitan, and DogFit Dallas, My Furry Valentine will feature dog adoptions from Duck Team 6, Dallas Pets Alive, DFW Pug Rescue Club Inc., and Chihuahua Rescue & Transport.

There will also be a pet costume contest with prizes and pet photos by Longhorn Photo Booth.
