2012 Pugfest T-shirts coming soon!
PugFest is SEPRA's annual
fundraiser which is held the last Saturday in October of every year in the Atlanta, Georgia
area. PugFest is SEPRA's biggest fundraising event of the year. Your help is
needed to make it a success in raising funds to help pugs and pug mixes in
need.
The need for support has grown greater every year and this year will be no
exception. There are a couple of guidelines that we ask everyone to follow for
your safety and enjoyment at PugFest!
• NO adoptions will be held at PugFest.
• NO pugs will be "sold" at PugFest.
• Those who have bred pugs need not bring puppies. They will not be admitted as
this is a rescue event.
• Small dogs under 35 pounds only please.
• No pugs without a rabies shot. (Under 4 months of age)
• Please keep your pug on a harness (or collar) and leash "at all
times".
• Remember to bring water for the little ones.
• Bring chairs and blankets to sit on. Be sure it is something that you won't
mind having a little pug pee on.
