Here is is Miffy!
She loves her walks, no matter the weather.
Her PDWRA Mum adopted Miffy from us when she was 7 years-old and she will be 16 this year! 💝🐾
No wonder Mum’s so proud of her!

We welcome applications to foster or adopt from the whole of the UK. However, if you live in the Kent area, we are in urgent need of foster homes.
Fosterers provide safe, loving homes with any healthcare, rehabilitation or training that is required for the individual needs of surrendered pugs. PDWRA offer full support and guidance, covering all veterinary costs.
Fostering can be for varying periods of time, as required in each pug’s life journey to their best-matched adoptive home.
If you feel you could offer this, please read and apply via: https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/fostering-a-pug/

Hi there, My name is Fudge.
I am a loving, sweet girl who enjoys nothing more than cuddles on your lap.
Here is some more information that might help me settle me in easier:
Walks – I love going for a walk and get very excited when I see my lead, but if I think the walk is too long or boring, I will lay down and refuse to move so be prepared to carry me on occasions.
My recall is hit and miss which means I don’t get to go off-lead too often!
Sleeping: The kitchen is fine as I have a problem weeing on my own bed and blankets so I’m not trusted in the human’s beds!
Food – I LOVE food but can get a sensitive tummy if something is too rich. My favourites are carrots or strawberries which I have as a treat/snack most days.
Visitors – I have always lived with small children so I’m fine with them but when I see visitors, I will jump all over them!
Words I understand –
OFF = Get down
SIT = If I really must
NO = ?!
LEAVE = I need to be watched
OUT = If the weather is bad, only if I’m forced
I can occasionally turn deaf so these don’t always work but the word NEVER fails and I will always respond to = SWEETIES!
Fudge is very happily adopted now, and this was the cutest note she came to PDWRA with!

Wishing all of our supporters & volunteers a Very Happy & Healthy 2022! We could not do what we do, without you! 🤗💞🐾
Here’s Ellie, one of our precious faces from this year. She was saved by a courageous young Mum who used all her savings to prevent Ellie from being sold to anyone else online after being used as a breeding machine. Ellie endured complex surgery once in our care, which she bravely took in her stride, so happy to recover in her first real home with a new, devoted, pug brother. Ellie was adopted during her recovery period and enjoyed her first true Christmas. She now has a whole new, bright, future in front of her!
