About Dia de Los Muertos
Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) is a two day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (Offerings) to honor their departed family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations! Day of the Dead is a rare holiday for celebrating death and life. It is unlike any holiday where mourning is exchanged for celebration.

About Dia de los Perros (y Gatos!) at League City Animal Care
In honor of all of the pets who have touched our lives and held special places in our hearts, we invite our community to join us for this special annual event. Our courtyard is transformed from a garden to a beautiful ofrenda space, filled with traditional dia de los muertos symbols, decor, and beautiful music. Community members, shelter staff, and volunteers adorn the ofrenda with photos of departed pets, mementos, toys, and treats as the altar grows throughout the evening.
