Animal Rescue Site Shelter Challenge of 2013

An organization dear to my heart, DFW Pug Rescue, is trying to win $10,000 to put towards their vet bills from the Animal Rescue Site Shelter Challenge 2013.  I have two pugs, Beans and Cactus Jack, which is why I champion this cause.  Pugs are wonderful, loving, highly entertaining dogs.

About DFW Pug Rescue (from their blog):

 

We rescue ALL Texas pugs regardless of age or medical condition. Since we rescue ALL Texas pugs, our veterinary care is our biggest on-going expense and we average approximately $250,000 a year in veterinary expenses. This amount is after our veterinary care clinics provide deep discounts. 100% of all funds donated to DFW Pug Rescue are used to pay for Veterinary care.

I can't tell you how many stories I've read on their website about the great work this group has done.  The pugs they get come from a variety of places.  Some pugs come from puppy mills and abusive homes; Others are owner surrenders due to a medical condition the owner is unable to afford.  This group works hard to nurse their pugs back to healthy, adoptable condition.  They are passionate about what they do! 

I voted! So please take a minute of your time to vote here and help DFW Pug Rescue continue their mission of saving these awesome dogs.

Project Pugway - August 27th, 2011 - 11-2 pm

Time for DFW Pug Rescue's Project Pugway!

I'm very excited to be a part of this event.  We will have a few local celeb's participating as well as a bake sale and silent auction - all benefiting pug rescue.  This organization is committed to taking in every pug - regardless of health issues or age.  Their mission is "No Pug Left Behind."  I have been a fan of this breed since I was a little girl and my parents bought me my first pug, Violet.   They're such fun, comical dogs.  Jacob and I laugh at ours pretty much every day.

This is not a pug exclusive event.  All dogs are welcome (on a leash of course).  I'm thinking Cactus Jack and Beans MF are going to be modeled by Jacob - although he doesn't know it yet.  Come out,  have a good time and support the pugs!  I hope to see you there!
