Petapolooza

Thank you to everyone that attended Petapolooza this year. It was a huge success that saw a record-breaking attendance of over 5,300 people and raised $42,151.28, including an amazing $14,707.88 from exhibitor fees and day-of donations from you, the public .

If you missed out, Petapolooza is an annual event that brings together pet owners and enthusiasts within our community. It is also 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.

We look forward to seeing you back in 2027.
