A pug pile, coming to a park near you.
Our pop-up petting zoo is part adoption fair, part feel-good morning. We bring a whole squad of friendly, adoptable pugs somewhere shady and let you meet them. No ticket, no pressure – just snorts, wiggles, and the best kind of peer pressure to adopt.
Bring the kids. Bring your questions.
You’ll meet our fosters and the pugs they’re caring for, learn what living with a pug is really like, and get gentle, kid-friendly time petting some very willing participants. If you fall in love, we’ll walk you through adoption right there.
We always pick shaded, early, or air-conditioned spots – because we practice what we preach about pugs and heat.
Come meet us.
Dates and details below. RSVP isn’t required, but it helps us know how many water bowls to pack.
Our flagship morning pop-up – meet a dozen adoptable pugs in the shade before the heat. Early start, on purpose.
Indoor-air-conditioned meet-and-greet with our foster pugs, plus a quick "is a pug right for me?" Q&A.
Golden-hour Pug Parade and adoption fair as the weather breaks. Costumes optional, snorting mandatory.
Dates can shift with the weather and our foster line-up. Confirm a specific event by emailing us or calling 725-999-2369.
Host a pop-up pug party.
Got a pet-friendly business, brewery patio, school event, or community fair? A Pug Project appearance is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser – and it helps our dogs get seen by their future families.
Tell us about your space and date and we’ll see if we can bring the pugs.
