Welcome to the Pug Dog Welfare and Rescue Association website. Here you will find information on the association including Rehoming,Rescue,Merchandise,Friends of Welfare and contacts to The Pug Dog Welfare and Rescue Association. We are a Registered Charity and operate under these provisions, officially. We follow strict rules regarding the welfare, rescue and rehoming of all pugs we provide for. No profits are made and everyone gives their time and talents freely! We have a new Chairman and Secretary, Wendy Tudor-Morgan; and our new Merchandise manager,Alison Mount. The Pug Dog Welfare & Rescue Association was first formed in 1973 and was known as the Pug Dog Welfare Association. The Association became a registered Charity and a separate legal entity under the sole control of the Trustees in 1978. It changed to its present name with the approval of the Charity Commission in 2000. The Association operates throughout the whole of the United Kingdom and has a maximum of eight Trustees. A list of names and addresses of the Trustees is available on request. Requests should be sent to the Secretary together with a stamped, addressed envelope. The Association do not have regional representatives, the Trustees are able to assist a Pug in need in any part of the Country ably assisted by members of the “Friends of Pug Welfare” whose contribution since the section was first formed has proved invaluable. Administration is from Cheshire and the Secretary can be contacted by letter, telephone or email. The re-homing Secretary is responsible for identifying suitable homes for a particular Pug, vetting the home and arranging collection and delivery to the new home. Again, the re-homing Secretary can be contacted by letter, telephone or email. We never have Pugs waiting for homes and do not have a Kennel or a Centre anywhere in the UK. On occasions we do have Pug(s) in need of nursing care and again the assistance of members of “Friends” in this situation is invaluable. The Association does co-operate and work with other organisations in our particular field and have good working relations with several eg. Battersea Dogs Home. Each year we re-home and rescue many pugs, often from pretty dire circumstances. Some of their stories are told on this site. We welcome any support from dog lovers everywhere. You can support us in many ways - why not become a member as a Friend of The PDWRA Network, or make a donation, you can also raise funds for the Association, we are a registered charity, and all our officers and trustees donate their time and efforts freely.
