GET ready for a cuteness overload as hundreds of pugs are set to descend on the Durban beachfront for the annual Durban Pug Walk. The event is set for Sunday, 2 July on the Durban Promenade (outside Wahooz) for 9am. The ‘paw-fect’ event, said organiser, Storm Veronie, is aimed at creating awareness on, and raising funds for Pug Rescue South Africa.
The organisation, founded by Cheryl and Malcolm Gaw, strives to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home abandoned, neglected and surrendered pugs.
“As volunteers we try and organise as many fundraisers in Durban as possible so that we continue to rescue and rehome these loveable dogs,” said the Durban North resident.
Veronie said any donation would be welcome.
