Many of our most appreciated pug adoption stories are for our older, more vulnerable surrenders. Despite their autumn years, these pugs are full of life and love, and often have many years of joy, fun and loyalty ahead of them. So please be open to consider all ages when you apply to adopt. You won’t regret it!
They will spend every day of the rest of their lives showing you their adoration and appreciation. 💞🐾

One of our volunteers spotted Percy at a dog pound in Northern Ireland and saw he wasn’t doing very well, not just because he was in kennels, but he was also struggling with significant mobility issues. Our local Area Coordinator was contacted and although couldn’t find a suitable home for his level of care in the region, looked further afield in our network. We found a perfect match, while Percy was now very comfortable and enjoying his new pug friends at our Coordinators home. 💝💙
Sadly, Percy’s journey had to be delayed as it was soon discovered that he had the dreaded kennel cough! As he was highly infectious too, he passed it on to a few of his new friends despite them being vaccinated against it. There are so many different strains! 😣
This was followed by a bout of colitis before all symptoms subsided and he was fit to travel. We put a call out for anyone planning to go across on the ferry and a kind volunteer, John, came forward. He even managed to secure a dog friendly cabin for the sail over! John says Percy was the best co-pilot he ever had. 😉😊
Percy soon settled into his new home where he has an elderly collie companion and PDWRA will still support them with his healthcare needs especially his rear mobility issues, so he can continue to enjoy his best life ahead of him! 💖🐾

We told Frank’s story last year after he faced multiple operations to remove a tumour that sadly kept re-appearing in his rear, right leg.
Despite several rounds of chemotherapy that were unsuccessful, his leg was removed.
After a slow recovery for Frank, without ever feeling sorry for himself, just look at him now on his weekend adventures – A super 8K effort from Frank today on a trip to the Painswick beacons!
We’re all so very proud of Frank, not just his adoptive Mum! 🤗💝🐾
Here is Frank last spring.
