A poem about Hugo

8 year old Imogen was tasked in her homework to write a poem about what she likes best! Also to include similes and metaphors.
This was what she wrote:
Hugo climbs like a mountain goat,
Although he doesn’t know how to get down,
He’s as soft as a velvet cushion
and he makes my heart melt.
What a wonderfully sweet view from Imogen about her beloved PDWRA pug Hugo!

George’s story

This is George.  

This is George’s story, written by his adopter:

George was our first PDWRA rescue pug.  He came to us aged 10, a little wobbly on his legs, but so very loving and adorable.

He’s a bit blind, deaf, and incontinent, and even more wobbly these days, but he has a new lease of life zooming around on his wheels.

George is such a happy pug, and loves nothing more than being with us, having snuggles, or zooming around the fields on walks with his new pug brothers.  He’s such a special addition to our family!”

We’ll share pictures of George enjoying life with his brothers, next time …

Toby’s birthday update

🎁 Toby’s Big Tenth Birthday! 🎁

I thought you would like to see me testing out the new memory foam mattress that I had for my BIG birthday, along with lots of treats from mummy, and from Aunty Wendy I had a special pug birthday card and two tags for my harness, one of which has my name on it (just in case I forget who I am)!   I also had a big bag of treats from Aunty Val and a Paw Patrol card.  As we are only allowed out once a day at the moment, I am going for a special walk when it gets cooler.  Mummy has promised I can have all my doggie friends round for a special party in the garden once we are all allowed to meet up again.

In the meantime I am supervising mummy cleaning the French windows from the top of the steps in the garden as the weather is so lovely.

Licks, love and slurps
Toby 🐾 💕

We thought you might like to read a recent update from Sandra, who adopted the most handsome Toby about a year ago.  Here he is, wearing his Halloween ruff.

“Pleased to say that he is fit and well and enjoying life to the full – as am I, thanks to all the daily exercise with Toby.  He continues to be the most adorable little dog in the world and I continue to be extremely grateful to you and Pug Welfare for entrusting him to me.
Kind regards
Sandra and Toby X”

This is 8 year old Toby.  He is a well loved old bear whose owners were having to emigrate for work reasons, and sensibly deemed it too hot for Toby to live comfortably with them.

Toby is now enjoying a relaxed lifestyle in Cornwall with daily beach walks and lots of lap time with his new owner, a retired lady.  He was delighted to find four new beds to choose from in his new home; needless to say he’s tried them all out!

Albert’s story

This is Albert.  This is his story, as written by his adopter.

“I met a PDWRA Volunteer at a fundraising event, who convinced me that a pal for our single 1 year old pug would be good for both of them!  Albert was not long in foster with them, having been surrendered by his elderly owner who was no longer able to take care of his needs. She had lovingly and carefully hand written 4 pages of his likes and dislikes.

When Albert arrived we were shocked at how large he was, tongue out and hot from the car, but we were in love at first sight! We’ll never forget his first evening, he struggled to get on the sofa, eventually climbed onto it and spent the whole evening watching Soaps – it was hilarious!

After a new regime of a healthy lifestyle, cucumber sticks and increasing his walks, we saw Albert’s hips for the first time!! He’s since become inseparable from his pug brother, and has brought us so much love and entertainment.

We think about his previous owner often, her selfless, difficult, decision to give him a happier life, and we are eternally grateful to PDWRA for allowing us to love him!”
