Milwaukee Pugs is run by volunteers. Tell us what sounds fun, and we'll reach out when something fits. Help as often or as little as you like.
- Meetups & events — welcome new faces, set up, and help run contests.
- Fundraisers — Pugkin Pawty, Pool Pawty, and merch tables.
- Photos & social media — capture the snorts and help share our posts.
- Rescue transport — help the rescues we work with move Pugs to foster and forever homes.
- Event planning — scout venues, plan themes, and line up prizes and vendors.
- Transportation & pickups — drive supplies, gear, and donations where they need to go.
- Admin & behind the scenes — email, spreadsheets, grant research, and keeping things organized.
- Fostering — open your home to a Pug in need through a partner rescue. Learn more.
- Pop-up meetups — host a small, casual meetup in your neighborhood for extra Pug playtime. Tell us about it.

Pop-up meetups
Host a pop-up meetup
Can't wait for the next big meetup? Lead a small, casual get-together near you: a walk, a park hangout, or a dog-friendly patio. More playtime for the Pugs, more friends for you.
- Keep it simple — an hour at a park or patio is plenty. No planning committee needed.
- We'll help spread the word — once we confirm the details, we can post it on our events page and social media.
- Pick a Pug-friendly spot — shade and water in summer, and a backup plan for heat or rain. Our dog-friendly directory has ideas.
