PugFest 2005 held at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Georgia was quite an event. There were around 700 pugs in attendace with about 1400 of their human companions. The event raised more than $14,000 for the Southeast Pug Rescue & Adoption, Inc.
The funds raised will be used to care for pugs rescued by SERPA and for administrative fees.
Dexter, a 6 year old pug from Gainesville, GA had a great time at the event. Dexter took home the honor of “Best Kisser” in one of the many contests held at the event.
