PUG JAM 2011

Thank you to everyone who attended Pug Jam on Saturday, September 24th! We raised approximately $3,000 which will help us pay off some existing vet bills that we had before the event and also leave us enough to continue to care for the pugs that we currently have in foster care and take in some new pugs that have been waiting. Without your help, this would not be possible so
THANK YOU!
