Pugs Unleashed Happy Hour & Hangout at Rusty Nickel Icehouse

Join us for Pugs Unleashed at Rusty Nickel Icehouse on May 23, 2026 from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM for a fun, dog-friendly afternoon built for pugs, people, and community connection.

This is a free, family-friendly event with proceeds benefiting our rescue, so bring your pug, bring your friends, and come enjoy a relaxed weekend outing made just for dog lovers.

We’ll have a fully activated space designed for both comfort and play, including a fenced-off off-leash area where dogs can safely roam and socialize. The event space is both indoors and outdoors, with TVs, seating areas, and easy access to bar service through garage windows opened just for the event.

Expect a great lineup of local partners and vendors, including:

• Big Dawgs Co food truck serving up hot dogs, with $1 donated from every hot dog sold

• Pacifico dog tag maker activation offering custom dog tags for just $2 during the event

• Rusty Nickel Icehouse contributing 10% of bar sales from the turf-area bar, plus an additional $150 donation in support of the rescue

This is a laid-back, come-as-you-are kind of afternoon, perfect for hanging out with your pug, meeting other dog lovers, and supporting rescue efforts in a fun and meaningful way.

See you there!
