One of our lovely adoptive homes now, who had sadly lost their beloved pug Pippa to cancer at only 6 years old, hadn’t ever considered a rescue pug, but were put in touch with their local PDWRA Coordinator Jane. She told them about Hughie, who had a brother Louie, both surrendered by an elderly owner who had them since puppies but could no longer cope with them. They were very active & naughty together, 😆 though could be independent from each other too!
They went to see Hughie at his foster home & it was love at first sight! Hughie’s adoptive Mum tells us:
❤️ Hughie soon settled in with us; however, it soon became apparent that Hughie needed a little more training; he hated skateboards motorbikes other dogs trundling suitcases and the doorbell! He has improved, but the doorbell is still a work in progress! 😬 He really is the most loving boy though and I thought he would make a great therapy dog. I found a care home that would take him and Hughie was assessed by the vet (fortunately no doorbell at the vets! 😅). He passed with flying colours, but then Covid happened.
I’m looking forward to visiting the home once I am able to, with Hughie. I’m sure the residents will love him as much as we do. Meantime, he now has an older brother Frank and they absolutely adore each other! ❤️

Ziggy’s family sadly had to say goodbye to him. 💔
His Dad, Nik writes to us to say, “Ziggy had been under close monitoring by our vet for the last couple of years due to his back legs failing him. After becoming doubly incontinent and more recently over the last 3 weeks his front legs starting to weaken, we realized that his quality of life was nowhere near what he deserved so we took the decision to have him pass over to rainbow bridge to be with his wifey Mabel.
We adopted them as a couple from PDWRA and he blessed us with 6 wonderful years. We like to imagine him now frolicking in fields of gold with her forever and all our other dog companions. Thank you to all at the PDWRA who let us adopt them. x ”
We all send our sincere condolences to Ziggy’s family and thank them for giving a bonded-pair a wonderful life together.
If you would like to pay tribute to your sadly lost and beloved PDWRA pug on this dedicated web page,

Mr Wilson has been looking forward to this music festival since lockdown prevented him from enjoying events like he used to. This will be his 2nd though, since being adopted by PDWRA volunteer Emma.
He’s used to plenty of outdoor activities and sports including marathons and agility competitions.
But how smart does he look in his festive harness!? Looks like he’s having the best time, deservedly so! 😍🐾
