Columbus Pet Expo

March 25-27, 2011

Veterans Memorial

Another great year for the Columbus Pet Expo has come and gone and we would like to thank our sponsors (still listed on this page) and vendors for all their efforts and support.

It is because of your generosity and participation that this annual community event is able to teach the importance of responsible pet ownership through an entertaining family venue filled with wonderful Pet Entertainment, new Pet Products and informative seminars.

Our message to spread the word about our motto "THINK ADOPTION FIRST" was accomplished in a big way and attendance for the 2010 Columbus Pet Expo exceeded last year and we are sure will continue to grow.

We are very happy to announce that after surveying our Pet Rescue Groups we exceeded our goal of 200 applications for adoptions at the show.

The groups also said that they expected many more applications to come in after the event due to all the contacts and interest they had at the Columbus Pet Expo.

The NON PROFIT CHARITY AUCTION was also a great success raising $3,500.that was immediately divided equally amongst our Pet Rescues, Pet Shelters and Humane Societies participating in the Columbus Pet Expo.

Our thanks go out to all the companies and individuals that donated products and services to the Charity Auction and all the people that raised their hand and bid. Your combined efforts helped all the rescues make the show more profitable and productive!

News coverage for the 16th Annual Columbus Pet Expo was outstanding and appeared on all 3 major networks. Our thanks goes out to WCMH- NBC 4, WSYX, ABC 6 and WTTE FOX 28 for their coverage during the show. A special thanks goes out to NBC 4 for their  in-depth coverage and the live broadcast from the show throughout the weekend and the involvement of their top notch weather team.
