Petapolooza | City of Pickering

Petapolooza is an annual event that brings together pet owners and enthusiasts within our community. It gives our community the opportunity to meet industry professionals, rescue groups, and others in the pet industry.

Thank you to everyone that attended Petapolooza 2025. It was a huge success that saw a record-breaking attendance of 4,500 people and raised over $36,000, including an amazing $11,729.45 in day-of donations from you, the public. The month is not quite over so that total is still growing as we continue to receive online donations throughout the rest of May!

Petapolooza is Animal Services largest fundraiser with all proceeds going towards building Pickering a permanent animal shelter and/or for the day to day care of animals housed at the shelter, including unforeseen medical costs.
