Animals help us to live longer and happier lives. They depend on us for care, love, food, and shelter. The Pawsitively Pet Expo will celebrate that bond.  We're pairing up with the Humane Society for Greater Nashua to celebrate all things with four legs, fins, wings and whiskers. The expo will feature pet-related vendors, demonstrations, giveaways and prizes. Don't have a pet?  The Nashua Humane Society will have pets available for adoption. 

Last year there were more than 250 dogs who attended.
