PICK A POOCH

Once again, the Pick a Pooch Adoption Days and Pet Expo will be one of the summer’s biggest pet events! The show, produced by Pets in Omaha (petsinomaha.com), will include more than a dozen shelter and rescue groups that will have adoptable animals in attendance. In addition, more than 100 local, pet-loving vendors will be stationed throughout the arena for your shopping enjoyment.

From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on both Saturday, July 24, and Sunday, July 25, pet lovers and potential adopters will be able to celebrate the Omaha pet community, fill out applications for adoptable animals, meet volunteers from shelters and rescue groups, and shop from local businesses.

Attendees can attend for the low price of $5/adults and $3/kids thanks to the event’s sponsors. Check out the Pick a Pooch Preview on Pets in Omaha to see a list of sponsors, vendors, and humane organizations in attendance. Also, let everyone know you plan to attend on the event’s Facebook page here. Tickets are available here on the Baxter Events page and also at the door on the days of the event.

“Over the years, we’ve had a ton of adoptions happen right on site, plus we know hundreds of applications that lead to even more adoptions,” said Pets in Omaha founder, Lee Legenhausen. “We promote our partners and advocate for adoption all year long on our website, but in these two days we really get to work connecting people with adoption animals, rescues, and businesses. It’s the most exciting weekend of the year for many of us.”

With dozens of adoptable animals at Baxter Arena, and hundreds of animals available that are under the care of rescues and shelters in attendance, those looking for a new companion animal will find their perfect fit.

Event attendees will also be able to win thousands of dollars worth of prizes, find out how to get involved in rescue, and enjoy other attractions in Aksarben over the weekend.
