We are recommending pug owners check their registration details at Petlog. There have been reported issues following an upgrade to their computer systems.
If your details are no longer correct please follow their instructions & Frequently Asked Questions (faq’s)
Petlog are reassuring customers that their 24/7 reunification service is running as usual and all customer’s pet details are securely registered on the Petlog database, to help reunite lost pets. This is especially concerning for owners as pet thefts are on the increase.
If you can’t see your dog registered correctly you may need to verify your details to complete the new set-up. Fill in the ‘can’t see my pet’ form and they will review the details to ensure your account is updated accurately.
Further information including a step-by-step guide to navigating your online account is available at: https://www.petlog.org.uk/FAQS
Petlog’s customer service team is available via email at: info@nullpetlog.org.uk or on Tel No: 01296 336579
If you need further assistance regarding a PDWRA pug’s registration, please contact Andrea by email at: Microchips@nullpdwra.org.uk

We last saw Tommy thriving from the dedicated love & care from his highly experienced fosterers, so much so that he isn’t moving anywhere, they have adopted him! 🎉💝🦴
With his new brother, he is so enjoying life in the way it was meant to be, supported by our generous donators, his hydro & physio therapy, specialist equipment & vet treatment could be provided. He came to us at only 8 months old suffering from his abnormal spine development & consequent mobility issues.
While now, Tommy doesn’t rely on wheels, enjoying short walks on concrete with his boots, always enthusiastically trying to keep up with his brother.
It’s the best possible news we could hope for, for all his family.
Thank you to everyone involved, Tommy is home! 🎉💕🐾
Tommy’s Progress!

At the end of 2020, Alison Mount and Janet Thomson retired from their roles in the Pug Dog Welfare & Rescue Association (PDWRA).

Hetty
“We are heartbroken that we had to say goodbye to our little girl Hetty last week after a short and unexpected illness.
Adopted 5 years ago, along with her Mum Bo, who will miss her greatly.
She had the cutest face we have ever seen on a Pug, and we have seen a lot of Pugs in our time!!
We miss her so much and are so very sad and empty inside.
We will love her and miss her cute little face forever.”
Hetty & Bo’s Mum, Lyn. xx
