Millie and Tia arrived five days before Sue’s Mum unexpectedly passed away, suddenly from a heart attack. She believes they rescued each other.
Sue writes:
“Millie is 10 and deaf … she came to Pug Rescue weighing over 12kg with ingrown toenails and rotten teeth. She is now around 9kg and is so much fitter. She has no teeth but manages fine and smells so much better! She was so puzzled when she discovered running and just loves life now.
Both pugs were fostered by Davina who was amazing and we would want to pay tribute to her for the start she gave them.
Millie is a great big sister to the lovely Tia (the vet has aged her at 8) who has so many issues including being blind and missing significant amounts of fur. Tia looks for reassurance from Millie and they snuggle together most of the day… Tia has also had teeth extracted and like Millie is so much more comfortable as a result. She visits a grooming parlour every three days to support her skin health and is an absolute favourite with staff … She loves to go and is pampered by all of them all.
They love their country walks but much prefer to be taken in the car before they start to walk, after which you can’t stop them.
They are so loved and very much a part of our family.
Our sincere thanks to all who contributed to making their world that much better”.
And that includes their forever Mum, Sue, who is giving them the retirement they deserve.

😍 Here are Ethel & Leonard. 😍 When they were surrendered to us it was, reluctantly done due to a change in family circumstance which caused a great deal of heart break for their family.
Ethel & Leonard are a bonded pair who needed to be re-homed together. Leonard would not cope alone. Their PDWRA adoptive parents adore them unsurprisingly and could not imagine life without this special pair now.
This gorgeous pair inspired their very proud and talented Mum, Alison, to feature them in her designs and donate a portion of the proceeds from her cards and mugs etc. to other pugs in need.
If you’d like to support them, and PDWRA at the same time, please look at the exclusively designed pug merchandise which cannot be bought anywhere else, by Absolutely Barking Illustrations.

For example: 50p from every £3.50 card is donated to PDWRA!
Ethel & Leonard will be selling their wares at the Yorkshire PDWRA Christmas party this Sunday, 5th December 2021 at Storthes Hall Park, Kirkburton, Huddersfield, HD8 0WA.
Please Email LisaPDWRA@nullgmail.com for tickets.
All proceeds from fundraising at this event will go to PDWRA Pugs in Need.

We would like to send ENORMOUS THANKS to PDWRA pug adopter Lorna, who has been making, donating and selling, unique, hand-crafted, log reindeers with all proceeds going to our pugs in need! 🤗💖🐾
Her wonderful creations are made with so much love. These decorative log Reindeers with festive scarves stand over a foot high and would look wonderful in a porch or by the Christmas tree, year after year.
As they are fragile to transport, they can’t be posted, but can be collected from the Devon area.
If you are interested, please email; lornabrydon58@nullgmail.com
or
Maybe you will be inspired to create and fundraise all for the love of pugs!?
