We would like to wish Jelly a very Happy 1st Gotcha Day!
Could she look any prouder here with best bud Bodhi, another rescue through K9focus.
This little girl was found dumped on the streets, 5kg, in a terrible state after being used for breeding. It took over a year in foster to bring her back to good health after which she joined Bodhi. He too was rescued from a sad situation, kept outside and petrified of the wind and rain. They have thrived, being adored, ever since, where they should be – living the dream together!
Jelly is testament to everything the PDWRA does for pugs in need.

We occasionally need to find cat and child free homes for pugs in our care. In rarer cases they may also need to be the only dog in the home! They tend to be few and far between or not at a reasonable distance for transporting a pug to.
These pugs can be extremely anxious or sensitive, or even traumatised from events in their past, victims of more aggressive dogs for example or just not able to live with cats or boisterous children.
If you, or anyone you know, could offer such a calming environment for a pug to call home, please consider applying, at: https://pugwelfare-rescue.org.uk/adopting-a-pug/

“This is Bo who was 14 1/2 years old, but we only had 5 1/2 years to love her and her daughter Hetty, who we also sadly lost, very recently.
Bo was a HUGE character, very intelligent and opinionated about everything. She loved the sun and would sleep on her back for hours in the sun. She could communicate her wishes to us very clearly, and we had better do as she asked as she would nag us until we complied. Her spot was on the couch right next to me and she would not share it with anyone. She came to us as a rescue with her daughter when she was 11.
Bo developed Pug Myelopathy which she fought fiercely loving aqua treadmill. She came to rule the house and we feel the loss of her presence with broken hearts.
Hope this tells you about our beautiful girl Bo.”
Bo and Hetty’s Mum, Lyn.
