NEW YORK - May 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Amazing Pet Expos announces today that they will award $5,000 to one of the rescue organizations participating in their 2015 Greater New York Pet Expo. The event production company will choose one non-profit rescue at random as long as 5,000 tickets for the New York Pet Expo have been sold by this Friday, May 8 at 11:59PM. Tickets may be purchased through their website at http://newyorkpetexpo.com. Tickets are $19.40 for Adults and $13.25 for children 5-11. Children under 5 get in free!

Any rescues not currently participating in the Greater New York Pet Expo, but interested in being eligible for the prize, can still sign up before May 8, 2015 by calling 1-800-977-3609, extension 107 or emailing expo@newyorkpetexpo.com.

“Our mission for 2015 is to help people become better pet companions – or become pet companions in general.” says Ethan Barnett, Vice President of Event Production for Amazing Pet Expos, “We love working with local organizations that improve their communities and this is our chance to give back and support the hard work of others.”

Amazing Pet Expos currently covers 50 percent of the booth costs for rescue groups and non-profit organizations in each city they visit. In January of this year, they also announced that they are gifting free 5x10 booth spaces to non-profit rescues in 2016.

“We want to make as big an impact as possible in the local communities we serve,” says Barnett. “We want as many people to adopt, not shop, so it is in our best interest to help rescues across the country in any way we can.”

The Greater New York Pet Expo opens on Saturday, May 30th from 10am to 6pm. The expo features opportunities for attendees to explore nearly 100 exhibitors, Lure Coursing by Swift Paws, education about exotic animals, a Petfinder.com mega-adoption area with more than 200 rescue pets available for adoption. Low-cost immunizations, discounted micro-chipping and free nail trims are also available for all the furry friends who need them.  Attendees can learn about pet care, volunteerism, grooming, pet behavior & training, traveling with your pet,  how you can make a difference, different types of pets/breeds, veterinarian FAQ, fun activities for you and your pet and much more.
