"I can't emphasize enough the importance of PUGSGIVING to the Pug Rescue of Florida and the pugs we serve. We consistently have over 100 pugs in foster care and the money we raise goes directly to providing veterinary care for our foster pugs. We look forward to yet another successful event; our goal for PUGSGIVING this year is to raise at least $25,000", says Kelli Spence, President of Pug Rescue of Florida, Inc.
