Mr Moo was surrendered through no fault of his own, but due to a change of his previous owner’s circumstances.
When he arrived in foster, he didn’t seek any affection from his foster family and didn’t want to play, however this soon changed with some time and he became their official shadow. Mr Moo loves having a cuddle and is so much more confident being himself now.
He has now been adopted and Mr Moo now has 4 other pugs in his grumble to play with and enjoys getting all the cuddles that he can!

Unfortunately, PDWRA is currently the target of some malicious activity. It is difficult to say more at this present time, but we are dealing proactively with the situation. In addition, it has come to the notice of PDWRA that a Facebook fundraising page calling itself “The National Pug Welfare & Rehoming Association” has been set up. This new page has absolutely no connection to and nothing whatsoever to do with the PDWRA and any donations made to that page will not be received by the PDWRA.

Walter
On Friday 23 October, Walter left us to go to heaven and be reunited with Penny, his mum. Walter was loved by so very many, he worked for his living spreading the word about pugs just like him who have been helped by PDWRA.
Walter was about 13 ½ years of age. Loved and adored by all he met. RIP Walter.

The world of pugs lost a great friend yesterday, Monday October 26th, when Pat Hicks Plant died peacefully at home with her family at her bedside following a short illness.
PDWRA will always remember her as ‘our wonderful tombola lady,’ working alongside Sue Quiney and Janet Thomson, but she also transported pugs, home checked and fostered for many years to help pugs in need. Most of all, she was a very kind lady with an enormous sense of fun balanced with duty and will be missed by her local community.
An update will follow, but please do not contact the family at the moment.
Our sympathy goes to John, Amanda, Steven and Jason, her much loved grandchildren and to her many friends, not forgetting her beloved pugs.

Due to a change in personal circumstances Phoebe was surrendered to us. Like many cases it wasn’t through lack of love or care, but beyond anyone’s control.
Phoebe is the most affectionate little girl who steals the heart of anyone that she meets! She settled in so well at her foster carers, it was very hard for them to part with her. She even used to go to the office with her fosterer when she wasn’t working from home.
She’s now in her forever home with new pug friend Hugo, and they are already the best of friends! Her new family, unsurprisingly, are absolutely in love with her.
