Pug Rescue Parade

The Calabria Club

Bulla

Having given support towards each and every pug rescued in 2011 from appalling conditions in puppy farms - the Pug Club of Victoria agreed to hold a 'Rescued with Love' parade during the lunch break at the 2012 Championship Show held on this day, March 24 2012.

Rescue pugs who attended may have already been adopted, or are still looking for their forever home.

Each rescue pug received a 'Rescued with Love' special medallion from the Pug Club and their photographs and rescue stories featured in the Show catalogue and within the Show hall.

Thank-you to Pugs SOS, Pug Rescue Victoria and our darling friends at Saffron on the Hill who organised past and present rescue pugs to be present at the parade. It was an important event to be present at, to make breeders and members of the public aware of how many pedigree pugs are ending up in puppy farms and rescue shelters.

Our pedigree rescue pug Poppet was very excited to be awarded her very first medal. 

Be sure to check out 'Keeping her Eye on Melbourne' facebook page for more photos. Gypsy was a very busy photographer and even got in a few happy snaps herself ;)

Gypsy bought this beautiful collar from 'Saffron on the Hill'. 

Their small business is 100% about raising funds for the rescue dogs at 'Sanctuary on the Hill', which is based in Loch, Victoria. They do not have a 'not fo profit' status so this store raises much needed funds to continue helping their lovely dogs.

 All profits go straight towards vet work, care and rehabilitation of rescue dogs at 'Sanctuary on the Hill'.

Please visit our link button on our blog panel to 'Saffron on the Hill' and familiarise yourselves with the amazing pugs that are rehabilitated and cared for at Sanctuary on the Hill. We saw lots of looks of love not fear today during our visit. This is not an automatic response, but it is due to the hours, sometimes months and years of love, dedication and physical and emotional rehabilitation Karen and all her foster team gives to each and every pug breed that is rescued.

Thank-you Karen for an amazing day out at 'Sanctuary on the Hill'. 

Please support this worthy cause.
