Hello, I'm Lindsey Smith and I'm setting up this fundraiser in memorial for Deborah C… Lindsey Smith needs your support for In Memory of Debbie: Help for Rich

01/15/2026

Hello, I'm Lindsey Smith and I am running the show now for the Cincinnati Pug Meetup group and Pugfair. I’ve set up a fundraiser in memorial for Deborah J Tolle to benefit Richard Tolle.

Debbie was a beloved leader of the Cincinnati Pug Meetup Group and ran Pugfair for many years benefitting Bluegrass Pug Rescue, which is how I got to know and love Debbie and Rich. With Debbies passing, I know that things can be tough financially on family, which is why I've started this fundraiser to benefit Rich during this time. The link to donate is below.

Please reach out to me directly if you'd like to donate in some other form (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, cash/check).

If you ever had your pups sat by Debbie, please know that Rich is still continuing to do that in her place, so please reach out to him if you need a great person to have your pugs stay with any time.
