Petpalooza includes pony rides, camel rides, the “Unleashed” Pet Contest, an agility area, demonstrations and more than 150 vendors.

Vendors will include nonprofit organizations and rescues, such as the Auburn Valley Humane Society, Wolf Haven International and Smidget Rescue.

Also to be seen are service vendors, such as veterinarians, groomers and trainers, such as Family Dog Training Center and All Dogs Training Services.

Attendees will see a variety of commercial vendors such as Pet Pros, Protec Pet Health and Sojos Pet Foods.

Offered throughout the event is a local competition of the 2015 Hyperflite Skyhoundz Disc Dog Championships. Hyperflite’s
