The Barks and Mews Gala is Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control’s take on a traditional gala including dinner, fundraising activities, and of course the opportunity to make an impact for animals. The event supports the Angel Fund, which provides treatment to shelter animals with advanced medical needs such as broken bones, amputations, heartworm treatment, and recovery from abuse and neglect. By supporting the Barks and Mews Gala, guests and partners provide second chances to animals in our community.

Bluegrass PugFest, Inc. is an entirely volunteer-run organization—100% of donations are used to further our mission and directly benefit participating Pug Rescue organizations across the United States. Many of these rescues rely on funds raised at PugFest as a critical source of support for veterinary care, rehabilitation, and placement of surrendered, abandoned, neglected, and abused Pugs into loving forever homes. In 2026, we anticipate more than 2,000 attendees and Pugs at one of North America's largest flat-faced breed events. Bluegrass PugFest offers a fun-filled weekend of demonstrations, educational breakout sessions, contests, and community engagement—all while raising awareness and funds for rescue organizations in attendance.
