*** Photos of the 2009 event coming soon! ***

Pug Fest is a celebration of the pug held on an annual basis. Pug Hugs, Inc. d/b/a Milwaukee Pug Fest is a Wisconsin non-profit corporation with Federal tax exempt status under Sec. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and also has State sales tax exemption status. We are an all volunteer group dedicated to fund raising (and FUN raising) for pug rescue and to raise awareness of responsible breeding practices and the plight of pugs kept solely for breeding in puppy mills and by backyard breeders. It is an unfortunate fact that the most ill pugs in rescue seem to come from irresponsible breeders who don't take care of their needs and then surrender them.
