Here’s Barry enjoying his Mayday Bank Holiday weekend among the blue bells, with his grumble & friends.
His weight is falling off and will soon need a smaller harness!
Well done Barry, having the time of his life since joining his new PDWRA family!

We are experiencing an unprecedented number of surrendered pugs to care for and rehome. The numbers so far this year are close to our busiest year ever in 2019.
Could you offer that forever home, or a short or long-term foster home to one of them, or even to a bonded-pair? 💕
Please see more details here on our website, also to apply:

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.
