Pug Events
You do not have to be owned by a pug to attend SPR events. If you're thinking about adding a pug to your family, coming to SPR events is a great way to get to know the breed. You can talk to pug people and learn about what life with pugs is like.

Fundraising Garage Sale |
Date: Saturday, August 7 and Sunday, August 8, 2010 The idea here is pretty simple: you shop, pugs win. Come to the garage sale and find a deal, uncover a hidden treasure, or strike a bargain. Whatever the case, the proceeds of your purchases go directly to the many costs of rescuing pugs in need: food (including special food for various medical conditions), medicine, corrective surgeries, spaying and neutering, vaccines and medical lab work. Since when has shopping made you feel that good?

Pug 'N' Brew |
Date: Sunday, September 26, 2010
Pugs and beer—could there be a better way to bring summer to a close? We don't think so. And so we bring you: Pug 'N' Brew, the Northwest's premier pug and beer event. What you can look forward to: There's a beer garden (of course!) and a concession stand where you and your pug can get important beer accessories like hot dogs and fries. There will also be pug-friendly vendors, Suma the Pet Psychic, pug races, a pug fashion show, and if it looks like the weather's going to be hot, you can count on kiddie cooling pools for the pugs (remember to bring a towel to dry them off before they get back in the car). Vendors: Interested in setting up a table/booth at Pug 'N' Brew? Contact Kristi at crazypuglady11@yahoo.com or 425-359-7982. Note: Only pugs and adults 21 years and older are allowed in the beer garden. Help make this a great event: download the flier (PDF) and post it on community bulletin boards or anywhere else you can. |

Seattle Pug Parties |

The small dog area is to your right, in the off-leash area. |
