Beloved Pet Ofrenda

Join us for a heartwarming tribute to our cherished animal companions at the Little Rock Zoo’s Beloved Pet Ofrenda. This special event invites you to honor the memory of your beloved pets while celebrating Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) traditions.

The Beloved Pet Ofrenda, meaning "offering" in Spanish, is a colorful altar created to honor loved ones who have passed away. This display, integral to Día de los Muertos celebrations observed by Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx cultures, includes symbols, pictures, flowers, and meaningful items. Pets are cherished family members, and this ofrenda provides a meaningful way to celebrate their lives with more joy than sorrow.

Experience this touching tribute to the connection between humans and animals and join us in celebrating both Hispanic heritage and the bond we share with our beloved pets.
