Isobel died last July.
She was just 6 years and hadn’t been poorly, so it was a real shock.
She was an amazing little girl, full of life and fun.
Nearly one year later it still breaks my heart that she’s no longer here.
Rest in peace my little angel.
Anne. 🐾🐾❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰💃💃💃

This is Peppa after 6 weeks of rehabilitation following patella surgery, also soft palate reduction!
Who would believe Peppa came to us weighing only 4.7kg, requiring emergency surgery on one eye and both her hind legs having deformities too.
Her behaviour and limited development indicated that she had sadly been crated for long periods and the vet estimated Peppa to be around three years old, although she was so tiny for this.
The cost of her treatment to PDWRA has been considerable, but worth every penny to see her like this – she’s the speedy one!!
Here’s the link to Peppa’s background story:

As temperatures rise, with amber alerts across the country, please remember top tips for keeping your pugs cool, comfortable & safe, potentially from heatstroke.
- Ensure your dog has constant access to fresh water, shade and cool surfaces
- Walk them in the early morning or evening, avoiding the midday/afternoon heat
- Check that the pavement or artificial grass is not too hot for your hand, hence their paws also
- Skip walks if necessary, for older, overweight dogs or those with breathing issues
- Provide cool mats or jackets. Do not rely on fans alone to keep them cool
- Never leave them unattended in a car, even in the shade or with window ajar
- Know the signs of heatstroke and seek vet advice immediately if your dog shows any symptoms

This is George. His owner was afraid of him. We were told he would try to bite her around food and had been taken to a vet to be put to sleep due to this.
Thankfully the vet refused and suggested they surrendered George to the PDWRA.
When he came into foster with us, it was obvious that he had never been socialised or even walked! He was naturally very nervous and anxious but never showed aggression in his fosterer’s care. As you can guess, he just needed some investment and care.
Thanks to the dedicated work of his fosterers, George is now transformed into a happy confident boy, ready for his forever home.
During that time a wonderful home was found for him though quite a long distance across the country which normally might have required the coordination of 4 or more volunteer transporters.
However, George’s devoted new adopters drove for nearly 10 hours to collect him and take him to his forever home.
Here is George fitting right in with his new siblings, PDWRA rescue 13 year-old Bobby, and rescue Yorkshire terrier Penny.
George’s new Dad says of him, “I think you can see he’s fairly relaxed. Doing wonderfully well at the moment. Good as gold around the house and great pals with Penny and Bobby. It’s a joy to have him with us”. 👌😁
Firmly settled in and one of the family. He’s a lovely lad, healthy as can be and he particularly loves his Mum. As you can see Bobby has a real purpose for him!
PDWRA couldn’t wish for better fosterers or adopters for our pugs in need!
