These are difficult times for everyone, and pet sitters, groomers, trainers, rescues and other pet-related organizations are facing challenges that most of us have never encountered before.

Since 2009, our goal has been to provide events that showcase the many amazing businesses, services, products and resources that are available to you and your pet, both in your community and from throughout the country.

We are creating this funding project to raise funds that can help many of those organizations get through the challenges ahead, so that they can continue serving your furry family members when this is over.

Our focus will be on independent businesses, sole-proprietors and organizations that do not have other resources available when faced a decline in business or revenue.

Organizations that need financial investment can submit a request with a general description of their current challenge, and we will disperse funds according to need. All information will be kept confidential, but we will ask for two references to verify identity and some general business information that will help us make the best determinations.

We work with hundreds of pet businesses and services nationwide.

By investing in this campaign, you will help these businesses be there for you and your pet after this national crisis has ended.

Businesses seeking bridge capital can submit here. Along with general information about the business or organization, we will ask for two references to verify identity.

We will disperse funds based on need, business size and mitigating factors.

We have produced over 250 pet events nationwide since 2009, featuring over 5000 vendors and attracting over 1.2 million attendees and their pets.

Through our pet expos and other events, over 15,000 pets have found forever homes.

We want to support the industry that has made our events possible for over ten tears. Our pets will need these services and products for years to come, and now is the time when they need us!

A Pet Expo is an indoor public event where pets are welcome! Each event has tons of pet-related exhibitors, expert pet speaker presentations, entertaining pet demonstrations, low-cost pet vaccinations, free nail trims, and rescue pet adoptions.

Pet Event Inc. boasts a staff of passionate animal lovers. On any given day, you’ll find us hard at work with our furry assistants — who usually aren’t quite as helpful as they think.

Our mission is to bring an annual convention to your community, inviting you and your family — including the furry, scaly, and feathered members — to explore the services available to you, participate in fantastic activities and contests, support local animal causes, and meet critters who need their forever homes.
