Look at farmer-pug Toby! He’s carefully surveying the farm from his tractor, watching out for all the free-range pigs and cattle.
Toby’s taken so well to his change in environment since he was adopted. “He still dislikes busy towns, roads and cars and has transformed from a naughty (disobedient!) mixed-up pug into being a happy, content, beautiful boy.” His Mum Anita proudly tells us.
” Thank you PDWRA for giving me my best friend, known to us as Tobylicious, he is my shadow!”
Please see Toby’s previous post:

A 3-legged pug called Honeybun with life threatening injuries from giving birth, was taken to a vet practice to be put to sleep. Thankfully, the vet took her on and performed emergency surgery which saved her life. He then contacted our local Area Coordinator and PDWRA took Honeybun into our care. She thrived in foster care with the love and care she needed, also having the healing companionship of 2 other dogs.
The PDWRA spent a significant amount of money ensuring there were no complications from the surgery and to make sure she was in the best of health before finding a wonderful forever home. No one uncovered why or how she lost her foreleg in her past.
She has now settled with her forever family, who are all besotted with her! Honeybun is so happy there. She has such a sweet, plucky character despite her disability.
The PDWRA are proud to be able to give pugs like Honeybun the wonderful and caring forever homes, and futures that they deserve.

Please be vigilant while celebrating this Easter. Our visitors or children may not be as aware as we are, about the danger posed to our dogs, from chocolate, hot-cross buns or cake including raisins and sultanas or a left-over roast.
– Please ensure they know these are not treats for them.
– They are kept well out of the reach and not left lying around on coffee tables for example.
– Secure bins or ensure they are free of discarded food scraps
– Watch out for what they may find on their walks
If you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, contact your vet immediately. They will likely be offering Emergency Services only, so not only may any incident be a distressing one but an expensive one too!
Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive thirst, excitability, drooling, seizures even leading to potential kidney and heart failure.
Don’t forget there are those Springtime plants to keep them away from too! 🌷
Do have a safe and Happy Easter! 🐰🐣

As you can imagine our PDWRA family of adopters are often celebrating the wonderful Gotcha-Days that have changed their lives and the pugs they’ve lovingly embraced into their families.
Cheryl writes to us saying: “4 years ago, we went on an exciting journey to collect Mollie. She’s the sassiest little lady, very loving and funny. She became mummy’s little poppet and daddy’s little princess.
More recently, Mollie also became a big sister to Fred who we adopted from you too and adore! We honestly can’t thank PDWRA and our local Area Coordinator enough, for letting us adopt two beautiful pugs. XX
