Pugsgiving 2026 will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, 11am to 3pm 

Join us in beautiful St Augustine, Florida, 

for a day of fun with the pugs. 

It is our largest fundraising event of the year and an opportunity for our volunteers, previous adopters, and pug lovers to come together for a day of fun and fundraising. 

Previously this event was held in Orlando, in the month of November (that's where the name originated), but last year we moved the party to St Augustine, Florida in the spring. 

We will continue to celebrate PugFest in Atlanta in November of each year.  

The day will include:

Contests

Raffle

Silent Auction

Fun in the Dog Park

Vendors

and more!
