Help Save Pug-O-Rama

As you may know, the economy has taken its toll on Southern Nevada Pug Rescue. We have had to weigh our priorities and make tough decisions. Luckily, every time we feel like we are most certainly going to have to stop taking in pugs, heroes come forth and donate enough money to take in the next curly-tailed surrender. Because we are barely getting by financially, we are faced with having to possibly cancel Pug-O-Rama.

Pug-O-Rama is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We normally raise enough money at the event to cover a huge portion of our vet bills. If we are forced to cancel this event, it will be devastating for SNPR.

Here Is How You Can Help!

Because almost every penny raised this year has had to go toward vet care, we do not have the funds we need to put on an event like Pug-O-Rama. Normally through the year we raise enough money to cover vet bills, as well as supplies, so every pug leaves rescue with a brand-new harness and leash. But this year, with the ever-increasing number of pugs needing rescue and vet care, we simply could not afford to order harnesses and other miscellaneous things we have ordered in the past, and that is also why Pug-O-Rama is now in question.

By sponsoring a portion of Pug-O-Rama, it would help us make the event as special as it has been in years prior without affecting the immediate care of any pugs needing to enter rescue.
