PITTSBURGH — Dozens of pet owners and their dogs came out for Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh’s free canine wellness fair on Tuesday.
Owners got no-cost veterinary services like vaccines and microchipping and pet supplies during the event, which was held at the East Side Shelter on Hamilton Avenue.
A pet ID tag station was set up and available for use.
Sandra Smith, Senior Director of Shelter and Community Operations for HARP, said it is a great opportunity to help educate people on the tools available to them as pet owners.
“Highlighting a lot of resources, what to do if you find a lost pet or your pet goes missing. Just basically anything you might need to keep your pet in your home thats our big goal as a shelter,” Smith said.
The wellness fair is part of a “National Day of Service” connected to “Humane World for Animals’ Animal Care Expo,” which is bringing nearly 2,800 animal welfare professionals and volunteers from around the world to Pittsburgh this week.
Visitors were also able to enjoy music, food and giveaways.
