PDWRA received a call asking if we did anything such as temporary fostering. Doraโs owner was struggling to give her the attention she needed, having a young family with a new baby to look after too. As we did have the volunteers available in this area we were able to help.
We organised Dora’s collection, and she spent 6 weeks on holiday with a volunteer foster carer, where she had a lovely time with fellow rescue pug, Prince. In that time, our PDWRA veterinary advisor gave advice on Doraโs diet, skin and eye issues which the owner felt was lacking from her own vetโs.
She was returned safe and sound to her loving home and the owners were so delighted with the care she received, along with the advice given, that they have set up a monthly donation to PDWRA to show their gratitude, for which we’re highly appreciative.
A wonderful happy outcome for all concerned! ๐๐พ

๐ Here’s a most delightful picture update ๐ on bonded-pair Kevin and Nellie with Peggy and Angel all together, adopted into their happy home in Northern Ireland.
Their journeys began in England when they came to PDWRA, fostered until the right home was found for them at the time, pre-covid. Peggy in particular had severe health issues requiring a number of surgeries and extensive care that our supporters rallied to help with.
They are a perfect reminder of what our network of dedicated area coordinators, fosterers, transporters and fundraisers across the UK, are able to achieve, to meet the needs for these deserving souls. We couldn’t be happier for all of them! ๐ค๐๐พ
We had to say goodbye to our gorgeous little foster pug Louey. We took him into our hearts last September and we totally fell in love with him.๐
Thankfully, he went peacefully, but he has left our hearts broken.๐
Run free little one, on the other side of the rainbow ๐ bridge.
๐พ Mummy, Sian.
Thank you Sian and James, from all at PDWRA,
for loving and caring for Louey, in the too-short-a-time you had with him.
If you would like to pay tribute to your sadly lost and beloved PDWRA pug on this dedicated web page,
