Pet Vendor Fairs

Petagogy Shadyside opened in June 2011, so we commemorate our anniversary with a fun customer appreciation PAWty on the first Sunday in June every year. We also celebrate at our Greensburg store in the Fall! The events feature representatives from pet food and treat companies, hands-on family-friendly activities, pet photos, tons of giveaways, raffles and more!

Community Support

Since 2011, Petagogy has donated more than 12,000 lbs of pet food to local shelters, food pantries and animal welfare organizations.

We strive to be active members of the animal, Pittsburgh and Greensburg communities. We partner with and support many community organizations and rescue groups—including the Shadyside Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Greensburg Project, Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, Wayward Whisker’s Animal Rescue, The Foster Farm, Senior Pet and Animal Rescue, Biggies Bullies and The Proper Pit Bull to name just a few—with food drives, donation events, supply drives, gift basket donations and sponsorships. We also participate in many events hosted by these organizations all over the city.

While we make every effort to accommodate as many donation requests as possible, please remember that submitting a request does not guarantee a donation. We will contact the requesting organization directly if we are able to make a donation. Due to the amount of requests we receive throughout the year, we give priority consideration to events benefiting rescues and animal welfare organizations located in and around Greensburg and Pittsburgh.

  • Event name
