Dogs of every size from 145-pound Rottweilers to 5-pound Chihuahuas were found at the annual Family Pet Shows’ Lehigh Valley Pet Expo at the Allentown Fairgrounds Agri-Plex Feb. 1.
Dogs were the order for the day, but cats, pot bellied pigs, rabbits and many other pets were either visiting or on display by vendors or rescue groups.
More than 100 vendors were on hand offering advice, adoptions, sales and just good conversation.
