The Latest News on Quinn! | The Pug Dog Welfare & Rescue Association (pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk)
We’ve kept you updated about young Quinn, gently improving with dedicated care after his terrible start in life. Quinn’s progress, aided by your generous support! | The Pug Dog Welfare & Rescue Association (pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk)
Since then, Quinn has experienced a lot of ‘firsts’. These include simple things like playing with toys and chewing them, going out on his own into the open space of gardens and sitting with his fosterer, Kellie’s pugs, from preferring his own company. He’s even found a slight bark!
Quinn has also moved away from hourly medication and his hormones kicked in following receipt of proper nutrition, which was a massive achievement for his little body, so he’s well enough to be neutered and have the X-rays he needs to assess his spine as he’s believed to have been kept in cramped conditions, such that he wasn’t very aware of his legs or what his body could do! 😩

Peggy came to the PDWRA earlier this year and needed emergency surgery to remove her right eye, which was ruptured due to trauma. She was only eight weeks old!
Thanks to the PDWRA network, she was operated on within two days and recuperating with a foster family by the end of the week.
She weighed 1.1kg and needed to wear a cone so she could not scratch or infect the wound as it healed.
A few days later, she was at the house that would become her forever home, joining two PDWRA adopted pugs, and her Frenchie-pug sister.
Peggy’s recovery from her operation was smooth, and she now enjoys regular walks with her pack and weighs almost 4kg.
“Peggy is a lovely, sweet-natured if mischievous little girl who massively looks up to the older dogs.” said PDWRA volunteer, Tris, Peggy’s ‘dad.’
“She had a really traumatic week early on in her life but the network of volunteers in the PDWRA is so strong that it wasn’t going to be long before her perfect home was found. Fortunately, that’s here with us. She’s a special girl and we adore her!”.

Millie and Tia were adopted by Sue days before her own Mum unexpectedly passed away. She believes ‘they’ rescued her as much as the other way around. Sue also wanted to share the hugely positive experience of adopting a blind pug.
Sue says:
” I just wanted to share our love for Tia, our beautiful rescue pug who is blind and has so many uncomfortable medical issues including skin irritation. Such an optimistic, positive, happy little pug who loves nothing more than to snuggle.
Unlike sighted pugs she doesn’t look at us which is so sad and often heads in completely the wrong direction – she is also facing life without Millie her fellow rescue who sadly passed earlier in the summer. We all miss Millie so much but for Tia she was her eyes and confidence … however little T as we call her, soldiers on and we hold her ever closer.
Blindness is often avoidable which makes it all the more sad but adopting a blind pug for us has been a joyous experience and this beautiful little character has shown us so many positive lessons in life that the honour to have her is all OURS!.”
