Frankie’s Fun Fest: The Official BUTTONNOSES' Social Club Kick-off Paw-ty

  • Cathedral of the Nativity of the Mother of God 257 Shaw Street Toronto, ON, M6J 2W7 Canada (map)

The weather outside is frightful, but Frankie’s Fun Fest is so delightful.
And, here’s the best news: you’re invited!


Frankie’s Fun Fest is the long-anticipated return of BUTTONNOSES Social Club - the weekly tiny dog meetup events, happening every Sunday throughout the winter – and is THE social event of the year for tiny dogs (under 10lbs please!) and their four-legged friends/paw-rents.

Join us for an afternoon of fur, fun and frolicking, benefiting BUTTONNOSES Rescue, on Sunday, November 17, 2019 from 2-5pm at 257 Shaw St. (in the basement of the church, located near the intersection of Shaw & Dundas), brought to you by our friends at Puppy Gang Fresh Foods, who offer gently cooked, real food, that is delicious, nutritious and which our pups literally can't resist!

The event will bring together oodles of adorable pint-sized pooches for an exciting, energetic afternoon of food, fun and friends – for both pooches and their paw-rents.

Even more exciting, this year’s event will be a meet-and-greet and celebration of Frankie, our youngest BUTTONNOSE, a true survivor and an adorable superstar in the hearts and minds of our followers because of his story of heart break and his amazing recovery. We’re going to be celebrating his good health and all of the amazing people (all of you!!) who made his miraculous recovery possible!

As well as celebrating Frankie, we’re also going to be celebrating an important month for us at BUTTONNOSES: November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and we’ve got lots of adorable, senior pups who either need a good home or are currently residing as part of our palliative care program. If you’re looking for a loving, cuddly companion, check out our adoptable pups at buttonnoses.com/adopt or come out to the event to meet some of them, in-person.

Here's what you've all been waiting for...

Tickets for the Frankie’s Fun Fest paw-ty are now available online for $40 (or $45 at the door, pending availability) and includes entrance to the event for one pup and one paw-rent.

  • Tickets for one additional human and up to 2 additional pooches of the same family can be purchased for extra $10 each, both online and at the door.

  • Humans, sans pooches, are always welcome as well; buy your tickets online or at the door for $20 each.

In addition to attendance at the event, your $40 ticket includes:

  • Each pup will get to eat his/her fill of the delicious, gently cooked, real food from Puppy Gang Fresh Foods, in two of their delicious flavors: Beef Lovers and Thanksgiving Turkey. (Trust us when we say that your pooch won’t want to miss a taste of Puppy Gang’s mouth-watering food; our dogs are absolutely in love with it, and many of our palliative care pups have seen a significant difference in their overall vitality eating Puppy Gang’s healthy meals!)

  • Enjoy kisses and cuddles from all the teeny-weeny furry guests, including our very own foster pooches, Blu-berry, Pepito, Pepsi and Trinity (she's available for adoption!) – and, of course, our guest of honor, Frankie!

  • A delicious vegan, gluten-free and nut-free buffet provided by Feel Good Guru for paw-rents.

  • Coffee, tea and delicious vegan desserts.

  • Two tickets to the raffle, with prizes brought to you by many dog-friendly companies that are near and dear to our hearts. (Additional raffle tickets available for purchase at the event.)

  • An overflowing, take-home gift bag for the first 30 fur-families, filled with treats for both pups and their paw-rents.

As always, ALL of the proceeds of the event will help BUTTONNOSES Rescue continue our amazing work: saving senior and special needs dog-babies - like our miracle baby, Frankie - and giving them better lives, filled with love, happiness and yummy treats!


In addition to the fun and merriment that is included with your ticket, there is one other exciting opportunity available at the event:

Meg, also known as the Modern Day Dolittle, is an animal communicator offering the unique opportunity for you to learn about all of your precious pup’s wishes, needs and desires. As a special fundraiser for BUTTONNOSES, Meg will be offering 15-minute sessions, in which she will “speak” with one pup - either one who is still with us or one who has already crossed the rainbow bridge - allowing your pet to have his/her voice heard, and giving you the satisfaction of knowing what your pet wants or needs to feel fully fulfilled. Find out more about Meg's Intuitive animal communication abilities and the expected outcomes of a session with her at www.moderndaydolittle.com.

At the event, a 15-minute session with Meg is $30 - a discounted price that she is offering only for our loyal BUTTONNOSES followers - and she is generously donating a portion from each session booked to BUTTONNOSES Rescue. You can book your Frankie's Fun Fest session with Meg by emailing mv.dolittle@gmail.com; there are only six 15-minute sessions available during the event so book today!
