Supporting many of our local dog, cat, small animal, and reptile rescues and adoption agencies is our top priority. What makes this effort special is that we have managed to find new homes for thousands of animals that people could no longer care for and we are very proud of that! If you are interested in making a great new addition to your tails or scales family, the Central Valley Reptile and Pet Expos are the place for you!

We look forward to hosting you for many years to come!
