Stop by to get your questions about life with pugs, adopting a rescue pug, or getting involved in SPR answered.

Petapalooza kicks off with a Dog Trot 3K/5K Fun Run. The event also features an animal-related entertainment stage, live entertainment, Skyhoundz Disc Dog Championships, Seattle Flydogs demos, pony rides, the 'Unleashed' pet contests, agility areas, a noon pet parade, over 150 vendor booths, giveaways and lots of activities to keep both humans and pets entertained.

Time: Noon
Location: Magnuson Park (Off-Leash Park, Small Dog Area), 7400 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle (map)

The small dog area is completely fenced in (as is the whole park), but is for small and shy dogs only. This eliminates some typical dog park problems for our pugs.
