**JUNE UPDATE: GREAT NEWS, Freddie has found his Forever Home!**
Freddie is still patiently waiting for us to find a forever home for him. One where he will have his human/s all to himself!
10 year-old Freddie is being cared for very well in foster, where he isn’t the only canine which is why we’re confident that he really needs to be, to thrive comfortably, and enjoy the rest of his days. In return he will be the most loving and loyal companion to his human/s.
We recognise this situation is rare in our pug communities, but if your circumstances have changed or you know anyone who may be suited to Freddie’s needs, please apply for him.
You could also help Freddie by sharing this appeal to friends or local groups. He would be very grateful.
Thank you!
Please read more about Freddie, and how to apply, HERE!
Freddie is looking for a peaceful forever home!

**JUNE UPDATE: GREAT NEWS, Freddie has found his Forever Home!**
This is 10 year-old Freddie. He needs to be in a home as an only dog.
This is mainly due to his poor eyesight as he will snap when he’s frightened by sudden movements and feeling vulnerable. Freddie enjoys a warm lap to himself as he loves his trusted humans and to feel reassured and safe. He is a lovely Pug who adores being cuddled and purrs with contentment when being stroked!
Freddie has overcome a lot already, since he first came into the charity weighing under 5 kilos, now 7, and is enjoying a new lease of life in our excellent fosterer’s care. In his previous life he was kept in a very small crate for long periods of time so when he gets excited he will circle. He is also very food orientated!
He may be 10 years old but he is an energetic and loving companion. He loves his walks and is good on the lead also when visiting the vets. He likes to explore the garden but naturally needs to be in a securely fenced-in garden because of his eyesight.
Finding the right forever home is important for Freddie. He is comfortable being alone for short periods of time but will get upset for a few minutes when first left. He is a very sweet little pug who enjoys attention from humans. His favourite place is with you on your knee, or a soft bed with a furry blanket on it!
Freddie is a very loyal companion when he falls in love with a human. His perfect home will be a quiet one with no other dogs, cats or children.
If you can provide Freddie with this, or know someone who would be interested in giving Freddie his perfect forever home with all the love and attention he so deserves, please apply at: https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/adopting-a-pug/

To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III today, here are a number of our fabulous pugs joining into the spirit of events!

Peppa is a very special pug, estimated to be around three years old when she came into our care with an irreversibly damaged eye. She had emergency surgery to remove it along with surgery on her remaining eye, to prevent the same happening to it.
She also has an abnormally shaped back leg which we believe was due to being crated for long periods, restricting her development. This can limit her walks to 20-30 minutes but despite all this, Peppa is an amazingly happy, energetic and loving pug, with a zest for life.
We have been reporting on her progress: https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/peppas-progress/
Peppa has now had surgery on one of her legs, and is recovering well, so will be ready for her forever home when this is fully completed.
Although tiny (5kg!), Peppa can be very bossy, bark a lot and play a little too roughly with dogs her own size.

We are therefore looking for a very specific home for Peppa, ideally with a larger well-balanced dog, who she will enjoy playing with, and a human who has sound dog experience, able to deal with her dominant nature.

Peppa needs a home with someone who is around most of the time as she loves the attention, and better suited with older children only.
Peppa is sweet, funny and a joy, and it is hard not to fall in love with her!
If you feel you can give a home to Peppa where she can thrive, please apply at: https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/adopting-a-pug/
Quoting Reference: PEPPA 23007 on your application form.
If you are already on our waiting list and are interested in adopting Peppa, please speak to your Area Coordinator directly.
More of Peppa’s story can be found at: https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/peppas-progress/
THE BEST NEWS is that Peppa has recovered fully and off to her forever home!
