Busch Gardens' Happy Tails

Happy Tails is a new program that provides two complimentary single-day tickets to Busch Gardens for every successful dog or cat adoption from the Peninsula SPCA.  The Peninsula SPCA wants to take that extra step to say we appreciate the community’s choice to adopt from our shelter.           

Busch Gardens incorporates a variety of shelter animals in its wildly popular "More Pet Shenanigans" show. Through daily performances, the park’s animal trainers show what is possible when working with these ambassadors of their breed.

”We are pleased to work with an organization like the Peninsula SPCA that is so dedicated to the well-being of animals in the Hampton Roads community. Our goal with the Happy Tails program is to encourage adoption of these great animals that need a loving home,” said Jay Tacey, Busch Gardens’ zoological manager.

Tickets will be issued at The Peninsula SPCA the day of adopting their new family member.  Admission vouchers are good for one year from issue date and Christmas Town admission is excluded.
