We began telling Peppa’s story when she was surrendered to PDWRA on the advice of a vet.
She had a proptosed eye (coming out of socket), and many health issues which required 6 months of multiple operations and rehabilitation, while we appealed for funds towards her vet costs, as well as to find a special home when she was fit and healthy for that final leg of her journey.
Well, she’s there, and we wanted to thank everyone who has been involved or contributed to make that happen so successfully for Peppa!
Peppa had the best, patient, foster care from Jo and her family during all of this and we can report that she has settled well in her forever family-home with adopters, Andrea and Paul, after a tentative adjustment finding her paws!
She’s happily bonding with the other rescue cats and pug brother there, as well as the smaller humans.
She is a barker, though this is getting better. She will bark when the doorbell rings but calms down quite quickly. Barking out on walks is another story!
Peppa’s been welcomed with open arms, and this special girl is a perfect fit for the family.
We’re delighted with this very happy outcome for all concerned, especially Peppa!

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
