A GREAT DAY FOR PET LOVERS!!
Wisconsin’s furriest residents are waiting to meet you at Pet Expo LAX, on Sunday, October 27, 2024. The Alliance of Wisconsin Animal Rehoming Efforts (AWARE) is proud to present this charitable expo produced for pet lovers of all ages!
This event is a charitable event which helps Wisconsin’s animals in need. All proceeds from ticket sales are returned to our community to help animals in shelters and rescues. Therefore, no animal sales allowed.
AWARE’s Executive Director, Beth Enneking, came in to tell us what to expect and how funds are being raised:
The fun begins with VIP Shopping Hour from 9AM -10AM with general hours 10AM to 5PM. In the mood for kittens, bunnies or a Guinea pig? A few pups? Maybe a reptile, two or fifty? Whether you’re looking to interact with species of all kinds or find your new best friend, Pet Expo LAX offers the best in show for family entertainment and shopping! Fun for the whole family!
With some of the area’s best pet loving fun, the expo will showcase over 100 exhibits featuring specialized interactive educational areas and animal rescues and shelters. Visit the amazing vendors for the newest pet products and services available. Meet adoptable animals from local shelters and rescues!
