CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Gulf Coast Humane Society is throwing its biggest celebration yet as the organization marks 80 years of serving animals in the Coastal Bend community.

Pawfest 2025, themed around the 1980s, will take place on November 8 at 3118 Cabaniss Parkway in Corpus Christi. The event celebrates the shelter's milestone anniversary, as GCHS has been providing shelter, care, and second chances to countless animals since 1945.

The family-friendly festival, presented by Wienerschnitzel, will feature live music and entertainment, local vendors and artisans, food trucks, and adoptable pets looking for new homes.

The fan-favorite Wienerdog Race returns as a highlight of the festivities. Registration for the race costs $25 and closes November 7.

The event is fun for both two-legged and four-legged family members, with activities for the entire community while supporting the shelter's mission.
