In addition, surplus funds raised during the event were used to microchip 300 pets and spay/neuter an additional 120 pets for FREE. Services like these are crucial to reducing the homeless pet population. The Fetch A Friend goal is to fund additional FREE services for low-income and pets in need with any surplus funds from 2017.
Every pet adopted will go home with a free goody bag full of items to help get your new relationship off to a good start! There will be raffle opportunities, giveaways and two days of fun with local vendors and pet professionals.
This event is FREE and parking at the Expo Center is $5.
As a courtesy to the hundreds of animals already on site as well as for the safety and well-being of our guests, OWNED PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT THE EVENT. To schedule a meet-and-greet between your current pet and a potential adoptable pet, please contact the rescue directly.
