The Houston Humane Society (HHS) and Houston Aeros are teaming up for the Annual Chilly’s Pet Pals event at Toyota Center on Sunday, December 9th. Chilly, the Aeros mascot, wants your help in celebrating man’s best friend at the 5:05 p.m. game against the Peoria Rivermen. Fans are invited to bring their own dogs to the game.

“This is one of the most exciting events we participate in each year, and we look forward to a fun filled day for two and four legged guests alike,” says Monica Schmidt, Public Relations Coordinator for HHS. “Pet lovers across Houston can come out to the game to show their support for homeless animals as well as Houston’s favorite guys on the ice.”

There will be a designated end zone section for fans that bring their dogs and a portion from the specially purchased tickets will be donated to HHS. Fans can purchase seats for $13 ($3 will be directly donated to HHS) and tickets for their dogs are just $10 per dog ($5 will be directly donated to HHS). Fans are required to purchase their “dog tickets” in advance of by calling Tamara at the Aeros front office at (713) 361- 7924. Season ticket holders wishing to bring their dog to the game are asked to call their Aeros representative to purchase their dog ticket.
The Aeros ask that all fans have current tags and vaccinations for all dogs entering the building, and all dogs must be on a non-retractable leash. The Aeros want to celebrate “man’s best friend” and will have a number of in-arena activities and promotions related to our furry friends. Prizes will be awarded to fans and their pets throughout the night. Fans and pets are encouraged to wear their favorite Aeros gear in the photos and to the game!
