Meet the Puppies: Peach by Hulu x Lost Puppies of Beijing
Who can resist a cute puppy dog? If you've been thinking about adding a new four-legged member to your family, but don't want to contribute to the unethical puppy farming that goes hand in hand with pet shops, then adoption is a fantastic choice. This Sunday morning, Peach by Hulu is partnering up with the great local organization Lost Puppies of Beijing for a very special meet and greet. The two-hour event provides a convenient opportunity for meeting a wide range of puppers who are seeking loving forever homes. Reservation is required in advance.
9.30-11.30am. Peach by Hulu. Free.
Back-to-School Specials at Hulu by Peach
Going back to school doesn't seem so bad when it means scoring some great deals. From now until the end of September, both Peach by Hulu locations are offering great deals on their back-to-school specials. Upon presentation of their student ID, kids can grab selected burgers and pasta mains for just RMB 28 during the week, or add RMB 15 to include a tasty milkshake in the meal. This deal is available for both take-away and dining in.
