Louise is a blonde/apricot pug and Paul is a black pug x dachshund.
Personalities:
Louise is charismatic, confident and cuddly – she’s a big kisser, too. She’s never happier than when she’s got a lap to sit on. Paul is a little more cautious when he meets someone new, but he’s incredibly cute with a long body and a big smile. Paul quickly bonded with my husband who calls him his ‘wingman…’ It’s a proper bromance.
Origin story: 🖼
They were surrendered aged two years, due to a change of work circumstances. They were fostered by PDWRA volunteers, joining a grumble of three and were extremely happy. Then they were matched with us and as soon as I saw a photo of them, I just knew they were for us. We had to wait until we came back from a holiday to get them and were beyond excited when we finally met them.
A pug’s life: 🏡
They settled in brilliantly. We sensed they had previously been well cared for because they were so trusting and relaxed with us. I also think the transition was probably easier for them because they had each other. My husband and I work from home and our daughters were on holiday from college, so the pugs had constant care and companionship while they adjusted and joined us on every outing. I think that probably helped them feel secure, I just kept hoping that they would know that this time it was their forever home and that they wouldn’t be moved again.
What they need and like: 🐾🌊⚽️
They absolutely love walks and set off like a pair of huskies. Surprisingly for pugs, they even don’t mind the rain. They will both merrily hurl themselves into a puddle, pond or the sea. Louise loved a pamper session and enjoys a bath, Paul likes to play in the water but does not like getting his feet dried afterwards! Louise brings anyone and everyone a toy when they come to the house. They both like toys and balls and have already ripped their way through plenty!
Personality traits: 💅🏼🚁
Louise mothers Paul and he will often look to her for reassurance and she’s always on the lookout for him. If she stops and sniffs when we are out walking, she will double back for him. They regularly groom each other, which is really heart-warming to see, like a little married couple and when they curl up together, they look like the yin-yang symbol. They’re quite territorial at home and if an aeroplane or helicopter dares fly over our garden, they will be sure to make it known. They are definitely a double act when it comes to barking!
PDWRA receive many pairs in need of their forever home and are never separated then if they are bonded. If you feel that you’d like double-the-love in your home, you can apply at:
