With 100 Pet Expos under their belt, Amazing Pet Expos looks towards the future for new cities and bigger and better plans.

St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/06/2015 -- After their recently hosted San Diego Pet Expo, Amazing Pet Expos producers are able to celebrate 100 successful expos since 2009!

"One Hundred shows is such a big accomplishment for us!" says Sheila Rilenge, President of Amazing Expos, "We started as such a small company in 2009, with just an idea to help pet-owners and pet-related businesses. We never thought we'd get so far. Ultimately, it is about being an excellent community partner and assisting people with becoming better pet companions. It's all about the pets!"

In 2009, the first Amazing Pet Expo took place in Saint Louis, where the company's home base is located. The concept for an Amazing Pet Expos stemmed from a realization the owners had; that there were too many pet owners who didn't have the resources they needed in order to take care of their pet/s.

"We would find out that someone fell into hard times and gave their pet up to a local shelter, when they could have gone to a local Pet Food Bank – which exists in most cities – so that they could keep their pet and still take care of them," says Rilenge, "From there, we realized that there needed to be a place where information like this could be distributed. There are so many instances where resources are available locally and no one knows about those resources."

About Amazing Pet Expos
Since the initial expo in St. Louis, Amazing Pet Expos has expanded to every corner of the United States – from New York to Seattle, from Tampa Bay to Long Beach to Austin, TX, even Anchorage, Alaska. This year, there are 33 Pet Expos across the country -spanning from January until December of 2014 – with 37 days of show. More recently, the expos have transitioned from one-day events to two-day pet spectaculars in select markets.

"We have so many plans for expansion in the upcoming year, including a couple of new locations!" says Rilenge. "We hope to see many more attendees and exhibitors in 2015 and we can't wait to bring the Ultimate Pet Party to a location near you soon!"

Over 300,000 pet lovers and their pets experienced shopping, adopting, agility demos, lure chasing, pet costume contests and more.

St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/24/2014 -- From coast-to-coast and border-to-border, Amazing Pet Expos traveled extensively throughout 2014, producing a record thirty-three popular pet events that strive to bring the pet community together wherever they are hosted.

Communities that hosted an Amazing Pet Expo in 2014 include Atlanta, Austin, the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Denver, Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas, Hartford, Houston, Los Angeles/Southern California, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Portland (OR), Richmond, San Antonio, Seattle, San Diego, South Florida, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Tucson, Las Vegas, Virginia Beach&Chicago

Every city has a community of vets, rescues, trainers, sitters, pet resorts, shelters, groomers and other business, services or non-profits that serve people and their pets. Often, pet lovers are unaware of the local resources available to them, and an Amazing Pet Expo is designed to bring them all together. In addition to local exhibitors and vendors, Amazing Pet Expos feature national pet food brands, new and innovative products and more.

About Amazing Pet Expo
Every Amazing Pet Expo features an average of 100 (and some communities as many as 200) vendors, an agility course, an entertainment stage, an adoption area and because each event is pet-friendly, a pet waste clean-up crew, pet water stations and a pet potty area. Each event is staffed by members of the pet expo team, who travel to each event and are present from setup to teardown.

Some Amazing Pet Expos feature lure chasing, obstacle courses, training hubs and other features. Every event ends the day with the Pet Costume Contest, featuring local pets and their parents displaying some pretty incredible costumes.

Because the public is invited to bring their pets, an Amazing Pet Expo is a great place to see every variety of dog, cat and even birds and lizards. Occasionally, a goat, a miniature horse or even a sloth will make an appearance.

Approximately 1500 Pets were adopted because of an Amazing Pet Expo in 2014, team members discovered during their yearly review.

St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2014 -- Going to a Pet Expo can lead to many things – attendees expect to leave an expo with new products for their furry, scaled, and feathered family members, newly vaccinated pets, and knowledge about everything from new training techniques to breed specific legislation. Not everyone expects to walk away with a new family member, but Amazing Pet Expos, producers of over 95 consecutive pet expos over the past six years, has contributed to the adoptions of over 1500 pets during 2014!

Major factors that they attribute to their help with adoptions are their Mega-Adoption Area, hosted by Petfinder.com, and the fact that they allow pets to attend the Pet Expos as long as they are on a fixed lead.

"We allow pets into our shows for a number of reasons," says Patricia Welch, Vice President of Amazing Pet Expos, "But we knew that anyone looking for a new pet would need to see how their current pet would get along with any potential fur-children in order to develop a familial relationship."

About The Mega Adoption Area
The Mega-Adoption area is a large space that the producers have set aside strictly for Non-Profit Rescue Organizations. This area is reserved for adoptions only, so that anyone looking to adopt a pet can go directly to one area to find the perfect new addition to their family.

"Some states don't allow adoptions on site," says Welch, "So we try to keep in touch with each of our rescues in order to find out how their adoptions went. We're happy to report an average of 50 adoptions that have happened as a result of our Expos."

This includes adoptions that happen after-the-fact, because many attendees will find the perfect pet for them, but then take a couple of days to consider their options. Regardless, Amazing Pet Expos is happy to help spread the word about adoption.

"The [Denver Pet Expo] event was awesome! We had twelve adoptions during the event!" a Representative from Doggy Dog World Rescue says of their experience at the 2014 Denver Pet Expo. Producers are happy to help organizations like Doggy Dog World Rescue spread the word about their rescue, in order to help get as many animals adopted and off the streets as possible.

"If the attendees don't end up adopting certain animals, we even wind up taking them home!" says Welch. "Just this summer, our Exhibitor Relations Advocate brought home a Rat Terrier from one of our shows. Adoption holds a special place in the Pet Expo heart."

St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/08/2014 -- After their final event of 2014, Amazing Pet Expos was able to celebrate their 96th consecutive show.
