Listen up animal lovers: this is your weekend. That’s right the Austin Pet Expo is coming to town Saturday from 10am to 6p at the Travis County Expo Center.
Among the expo highlights: a special appearance by Animal Planet‘s “Pit Boss,” Shorty Rossi and his pup Hercules. Also on tap a dog agility course, pet talent contest, costume contest, and, of course, plenty of animals available for adoption – including 60 furry friends from the Austin Humane Society.
In celebration of “adopt a shelter pet” month, the no-kill AHS will be reducing adoption fees to $20 for all cats, kittens and dogs over six months. All adoptions include up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter, a month of free pet health insurance and a “starter kit” of goodies – toys, bedding, treats, and more!
This is Austin’s first Pet Expo so get your dog gussied up and join the fun.
