Pets in Omaha’s Pick a Pooch Adoption Days and Pet Expo is this weekend, July 14 and 15, 2018, at Ralston Arena (73rd and Q in Omaha) from 10 am to 4 pm. On top of the 100 vendors and 20+ rescue and shelter groups you’re accustomed to finding at our event (plus great raffles and this year’s pet food drive), there are a number of speakers who will demonstrate, educate, and more for attendees.
