Gladwyn
My wife and I collected him from John and Sylvia in Sheffield many years ago. We think he was about 18 years old.

Charlie is a lively 3 year old, who was surrendered to us ultimately due to his Mum’s increasing working hours, which meant that she was unable to give the supervision and attention that Charlie needed. He was quite a demanding boy who enjoyed being the centre of attention, was very reactive to noises or people and would try to bolt whenever the front door opened! Unfortunately, he also became irritating to their other dog, such that they eventually needed to be kept separated.
We placed Charlie with an experienced fosterer who put him through the necessary training to reform from being the pug equivalent of Houdini, to soon learning not to jump on tables and work surfaces or dashing out of the front door at the first opportunity. He was ready to go to his new forever home, where he’s now having a great life by the seaside.
This message is from Charlie’s new Mum:
“Firstly, we would like to thank PDWRA for giving us the opportunity to have Charlie in our lives. He bounced into our hearts 5 weeks ago and he hasn’t stopped bouncing! He is such a wonderful little character and has made our home feel whole again. We have learnt that he loves his food, his walks, stealing toys so that boys will chase him, and cuddles. He loves racing around the garden barking at anything that flies over from aeroplanes to birds and even butterflies. His snores are the loudest we have ever heard. He has settled in really well and I think if he could speak, he would say he is happy!”
We think he looks happy in these photos, too!

Cherub (age approximately 16 years)
Cherub came to PDWRA in 2016, at approximately 12 years of age, when one of our helpers learnt about her and managed to get her. She went into foster which didn’t work out, and another helper assisted in getting her to Erle, who adopted her.
Cherub was very fond of the gardener and loved to be in the garden!
Erle tells us: “It’s a funny thing it’s still quiet without her, though she never barked unless it was for her food, and everyone who knew her and visited all say the same, we’re so happy she had love and kindness here with us.”

Didi
“We lost our beloved Didi last night, very suddenly. We wanted to thank PDWRA for bringing this loveable, mischievous ball of fun into our lives 3 years ago.
We couldn’t have loved you any more, Didi boy.”
