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! 🐾

Thank you for all your kind enquiries. Freddie has his forever home now!
We recently introduced the loving, confident, 4yr old Freddie who is looking for his forever home in Northern Ireland. He’s such a delightful boy but is still looking!
Could you offer him this? Ideally you will be an experienced dog-owner, able to manage any pack dynamics and support him with his neurological affliction which he’s had since birth and manages perfectly well with it.
To see video of Freddie please look at our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PDWRA/

Delilah was surrendered to PDWRA as there was fighting between the dogs in her home, plus there were concerns about BOAS despite already having had surgery for it.
Unfortunately, Delilah became unwell soon after coming into our care and our vet discovered to everyone’s surprise that she was pregnant!
Everyone was prepared that she might not be able to cope with a natural delivery due to her breathing, but she did it! … Just a few weeks later 4 puppies were born, 3 girls arrived safely in quick succession followed later by a boy.
Mother and pups are doing really well in the care of a very experienced PDWRA foster home.
Please stay tuned for regular photo & video updates on their progress! 🐾
