I am happy to report our first annual Pugs & Kisses fundraiser was a HUGE success! We were able to raise some much needed funds for our Stabilizing Sammie campaign!
We want to thank everyone who came out to support us with a special thanks to Curly Tail Pug "Jewel" who patiently and lovingly sat in the pug kissing booth for 4 hours dishing out kiss after kiss. She definitely worked hard for the money!!
And special thanks to guest pug of honor "Sunshine" who also stole the show and captured the hearts of every human in the store, and a few dogs, ponies, and turtles too!
Thanks to her daddy Ken and big sister Emily the Biker Pug for coming out to share the love.
It was a special day in honor of Barry, one of our own who passed unexpectedly this weekend.
Here are some of my favorite pics from the day:
Curly Pug Jewel, Kissing Queen and all around Super Star!

Lori thank you and the wonderful volunteers of CTPR for putting on a fun event by the looks of the people there and the kids the day was a great success. Jewel was so cute in her leopard attire and red hearts.
Sunshine had a great time and because of CTPR volunteers so many pugs like her that would have been put down are living a happy loving life.
You all do it without pay and little or no recognition but you guys are the ones that make it all happen.
I am so glad that CTPR has such fine people doing all the hard work to save pugs.
I am lucky to have Sunshine she is a pure delight all made possible by people like you.
To all the volunteers there,Jewel, Plum and all the pugs looking for a forever home THANK YOU. and to all those thinking of adopting pick one out you won't be sorry.

Thanks again! It was great to finally meet you and your awesome puggies.
Plum is still wiped out from the pugfest, she's been snoozing away ever since we got home :)
