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.

You can easily help us to raise much needed funds for our rescue pugs via Stamps for Charity.
If you’ve been collecting, especially over Christmas, or can start now please send them to us, trimming 1/2 to 1 cm around each stamp or they can’t be included.
We receive cash in return, by weight. So it all adds up!
Please post to:
PDWRA, Used Stamps Appeal, Fords Farm, Horsey, Norfolk NR29 4EP.
Please ask your family, friends or at work too! Thank you.

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!
