The Henrico Humane Society celebrated a milestone 25th Pet Expo at the Richmond Raceway Complex on Saturday, drawing hundreds of attendees for contests, adoptable pet showcases and fundraising to support the organization's rescue mission.

Melissa Golden, who works with Henrico Humane Society, said the event serves a crucial purpose beyond entertainment.

"We have everything going on today... from 70-plus vendors," Golden said. "We have contests, we have puppy races, we have a lure course, we have a dog treadmill, we have an auction with over 250 items. Everything to raise money to support our life-saving work."
