It’s International Dog Day!
Celebrated each year on 26th August, to honour the unconditional affection they give to us. Not that we need a particular day to do this!😉
It also aims to raise awareness and encourage people to adopt dogs and provide them with the best quality of life they deserve, which is at the heart of what we do at PDWRA! 💞🐾
Celebrate your dogs with us and make them feel extra special today!

This is Quinn. It goes without saying that he has had a very rough start to life. He is over a year old though looks like a puppy as is extremely malnourished with physical setbacks due to his neglect and lack of proper nutrition.
Thank goodness the vet practice he was taken to, helped for him to be surrendered to PDWRA, since then he has had round the clock care. 💝🐾
Quinn has demodectic mange which has stripped him of his fur and left him with secondary skin infections which are being treated. He is on a special diet to build him up, plus hourly eye drops among a variety of meds at regular intervals.
Despite everything he has been through, he has so much love to give and has been nothing short of an angel whilst receiving all this treatment.
He is excelling already, in his new soft jumpers, able to trot around the garden with a few pug companions, in his new safe, loving environment.
We have already had some generous donations towards Quinn’s costs, though if you would to Donate via Paypal or Bank Transfer, please go to:
We are very grateful that Quinn can look forward to enjoying his life, to the fullest possible, healthily and pain-free, the way he always should have! 🐾

Peter was ready and waiting patiently for his adoptive home. A ten year old, full of character.
This was his advertisement and we’re delighted to say that in no time, he was home!
I would prefer to live as an only dog. I can be a bit snappy with some dogs, usually the larger variety, and don’t have the patience or inclination to live with others.
A couple, single, or family with older children would be best for me. I can get a bit grumpy around children who get in my face and space. I would need you to ensure my space is respected when children visit.
I don’t like visiting the vet and can get very grumpy when being examined.
Once I get to know you, I am very loving and affectionate. I like to be fussed and stroked. I will need to be with my people most of the time as I can become anxious when left.
I do like to chase birds and cats in the garden. I’m a helpful sort of chap.
I love to be taken out and about for short walks and adventures. I am partial to a cafe, or a pub, and generally being included.
I am house trained. What a treat!

We may be having our busiest year ever with nearly 200 pugs surrendered so far, to care for, and move onto suitably matched homes. If you are able to Adopt, maybe adding to your grumble or finding that special, devoted companion to love,
We always need Foster homes to be available, especially for special needs pugs and those requiring placement at short notice.
or contact your local volunteer PDWRA Coordinator if you are already registered with us. If you are, please be assured that they will be in touch when you are needed as they are extremely busy managing all aspects of the pug’s welfare during their rehoming.
Thank You, on behalf of all our Pug in Need!

We introduced Delilah who brought some special gifts to PDWRA a few weeks after arriving in our care!
They’re all doing really well being cared for by a very experienced puppy fosterer of ours.
In order to get Delilah to her before the birth, 4 separate pairs of wonderful PDWRA volunteers drove and handed her over across the country to her final destination. We couldn’t be prouder or more grateful to everyone involved in the logistics.
We will be assessing Delilah’s BOAS situation once she’s weaned the pups.
Stay tuned for our next update on their progress! 🐾
