What is Pugfest?

Pugfest was held at Action Petz in Tremorfa, Cardiff, and attracted more than 1,500 people and around 400 pugs to use the luxury indoor dog play centre.

Pugfest is an organisation which holds fun days out for pugs all over the country and was set up by Rob Clowes in memory of his pug, Poppy.

Poppy had her own twitter account of more than 18,000 followers but she sadly passed away shortly before the first Pugfest event last August.

The event raises money for various animal charities and trusts, including Jemima’s Place which rescues and rehomes unwanted and sick animals in Wales.
