Nickel City Amplify Austin Wrap-up Event

It’s no secret— the awesome folks at Nickel City love pugs! Join us for a Cash-Only Pop-Up on March 6th as we wrap up Amplify Austin and raise those last few bucks for Pug Rescue Austin. 🐶💕

With support from Flor De Caña & Mr Black Coffee Liqueur, we’ll be serving up some amazing drinks and good vibes, all for a great cause! Every little bit counts, and your generosity helps give pugs in need a second chance at happiness. 🌟
