Paws United Pet Expo To Highlight Pet Rescues, Shelters Happening This Weekend

The annual Paws United Pet Expo to raise awareness about pet rescues and shelters will take place this Saturday. “It is this Saturday, it’s gonna be from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the bingo hall APR building. So this year we have over 50 vendors and rescue shelters. We have pet related and non pet related vendors. So there’s a lot of shopping. Pet CPR and pet first aid, there’s education. We have a trainer that will be coming in to do some training techniques,” said event spokesperson Toshie Murrell. The event will also offer the opportunity to get your pet vaccinated and micro-chipped. “We are also having the Hardin County Animal Shelter. They will be setting up a rabies shot clinic and microchip. They will be there from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM with low cost shots. So you must have your cat in a carrier, your dog on a leash and come out and get your shots. It’s a great opportunity to get that taken care of without having to make a vet appointment and we’re having free nail trims from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.” There will also be a food truck on site. A donation of pet food or cat litter or a monetary donation will get you entry into the event.
