In Loving Memory of Milly

In Loving Memory of Milly

Milly was our beautiful fawn pug and the heart of our family for 10 wonderful years. From the moment she came into our lives, she brought endless love, laughter, and comfort to everyone around her.

She had the sweetest nature, a cheeky personality, and a way of making even the hardest days feel a little brighter. Whether she was curled up beside us, following us from room to room, or making us laugh with her funny little habits, Milly filled our home with happiness. We used to call her a lazy security guard, woofing at everything outside our house but never leaving her bed to go and investigate.

In Loving Memory of Millie

Growing up with her was one of the greatest gifts I could have had. Milly was brought to us by Wendy at PDWRA when I was just 13. She was more than a pet; she was a best friend, a source of comfort, and a constant presence through every stage of life. Her love was unconditional, and the bond we shared will stay with me forever. I am now 23, trying to navigate life without my sweet little girl. Thank you Milly for allowing me to grow up with you. I am forever grateful to PDWRA for giving me my best friend, she really was my little sidekick.

In Loving Memory of Millie

Although our hearts are broken by her loss, we are incredibly grateful for every moment, cuddle, walk, and memory we were lucky enough to share with her. 10 years could never feel like enough. Me and my mum always say, as she came to us when she was 6, we wish we could’ve had those 6 extra years with her. Whoever had her before us, was so lucky to have her for those 6 years.

In Loving Memory of Millie

Milly, thank you for a lifetime of love and for showing us just how special a pug can be. You will always be deeply loved, endlessly missed, and forever a part of our family. Loads of gravy bones and sausage rolls for you over the rainbow bridge ❤️ Forever 16.

5 Weeks Free Cover from Agria!

5 Weeks Free Cover from Agria!

The PDWRA is very pleased to announce a new working relationship with Agria Pet Insurance. Going forward, all PDWRA adoptions will be offered with 5 weeks free insurance from Agria.

This offer applies to all newly-adopted pugs, whatever their age, and covers our adopters so that they can take their time in deciding which company to insure with long-term.

If an adopter decides to stay with Agria after the end of their free period, they can take advantage of their competitive policies for peace of mind. Agria is committed to supporting animal charities and we’re grateful for their help.

Specifics to be aware of regarding Agria Pet Insurance 5 weeks free cover:

  • Insurance is available for all pugs from 8 weeks old – irrelevant of age
  • All illnesses, accidents or injuries are covered up to £5000
  • The PDWRA will receive a donation for all full year polices taken out (following the 5 weeks free cover)
  • There is a £175 excess applied to any claim within the 5 weeks free policy and a liability to pay 20% of the balance

Agria will make direct contact with the adopter regarding continuing the cover – the adopter can opt out via our Adoption Agreement Form or simply has to say no when contacted by Agria. The policy then ends after the free 5-week period.

The PDWRA makes no specific recommendations in regards to your ongoing choice of Pet Insurance provider.
