HAPPY TAILS EXTENDED THROUGH 2012: SeaWorld is continuing a program established in April of 2011 to reach out to some furry, four-legged creatures at the Helen Woodward Animal Center to encourage adoptions of homeless dogs and cats. “SeaWorld’s Happy Tails” animal adoption program provides pet lovers two free single-day admissions to SeaWorld when they adopt a dog or cat from the Helen Woodward Animal Center. The program has been extended and will continue through Dec. 31. Tickets are valid for a single-day admission to the park any time within one year of the adoption. Tickets will be printed onsite at the center. SeaWorld has supported local animal shelters by providing homes, and a second chance at life, for hundreds of abandoned and neglected animals. Considered by many untrainable, these adopted animals now steal the stage — and fans’ hearts — as stars in the park’s popular show “Pets Rule!” Promoting the importance of shelter adoptions, these furry ambassadors bring smiles to thousands of guests every day. For more information on adopting from the Helen Woodward Animal Center visit www.animalcenter.org.
