About
Our Story
The Puppy Cup is a cruelty-free reimagining of race-day culture. Founded by Crystal Lynn of Mon Petit Amour Manolo, the event places compassion above competition.
The experience blends the elegance of a gala with the warmth of a community fundraiser, featuring rescue puppies, curated entertainment, and purpose-led moments that drive real impact.

“What I loved most about The Puppy Cup was meeting the rescue puppies, I genuinely wanted to take every single one home. The whole afternoon felt thoughtful without being overdone. Having a watercolour painted of my pup on the spot was special, and one can never have enough paintings of our fur children, and the dog communicator was the cherry on the top, there was not a dry eye after a session with the talented Wenni. This event was clearly created with heart and integrity.”
