** GREAT NEWS – UPDATE! **
Edna has found her perfect new home, all to herself!
******
Meet Edna, a beautiful little 6 year old girl.
Edna is looking for her Forever-Home due to unforeseen changes at her family home. This meant that she used to be crated for long periods of time while her parents were at work, so she now really craves love and attention from her humans, and will do so from her new adopter.
Edna has shown also, that she isn’t willing to share attention, resenting any other dogs that take it away from her. There have been spats and they’ve been consistent!
She can also snap at passing dogs if they try to sniff her whilst out walking so Edna really needs someone to help her feel safe and secure, to settle down and find her confidence without upsetting any resident dogs or cats, who she also reacts too unfavourably, in the home.
This is why she can’t be rehomed with other companions as she will literally fight for attention.
She is used to having children around and we recommend that they are older rather than young.
Edna is a real quirky character, described as a diva who will make you laugh for hours.
She doesn’t mind being left on her own for an hour or two and is house-trained. Edna has been spayed and is in good health, though like many, may need a dental somewhere down the line.
So, could YOU or someone you know, offer Edna her forever home? One without other dogs or cats?
Please apply for her, quoting Reference: Edna 24048 at: https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/adopting-a-pug/
If you are already registered to adopt with us, please speak to your PDWRA Area Coordinator directly.
Thank You, from the lovely Edna!

February is Pet Dental Health Month.
Our furry friends, especially our beloved pugs, need some extra TLC when it comes to their dental health.
Here are some tips to keep those adorable pug smiles healthy:
- Regular Brushing: Just like us, pugs need their teeth brushed regularly. Use a dog-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste to gently clean their teeth. Start slow and make it a positive experience for them.
- Healthy Diet: Providing your pug with a balanced diet can contribute to their overall dental health. Avoid sugary treats and opt for dental chews or toys that promote good oral hygiene.
- Routine Vet Check-ups: Regular visits to the vet are essential for maintaining your pug’s dental health. Your vet can spot any issues early on and provide guidance on how to keep their teeth in tip-top shape.
- Chew Toys: Chewing is a natural behaviour for dogs and can help keep their teeth clean. Invest in some quality chew toys for your pug to gnaw on, which can help reduce plaque and tartar build-up.
- Stay Vigilant: Keep an eye out for any signs of dental problems such as bad breath, swollen gums, or difficulty eating. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further complications down the road.
Remember, a healthy smile leads to a happy pug! Let’s make sure our furry friends get the care they deserve this Dental Hygiene Month.
