Bruno was adopted earlier this year. Since then, he’s moved house, become friends with the resident chickens and begun to make friends with another resident pug. Some big changes for the little man!
Bruno’s new brother, Pugsley has had his health issues through the years. Recently though, he has had a tumour removed and since discovered a cyst on his spine so will be going back under the knife soon.
Bruno has stepped up though and helped look after Pugsley in his time of need, giving him a new lease of life when he’s needed it most. Bruno knows when to play with Pugsley and when to play with his toys. He knows when he needs a cuddle and when to give him space.
They have both grown extremely close in a relatively short space of time and look for each other on their walks. Pugsley was a little grumpy, has now come out of his shell and is an overall happier dog.
Sometimes a rescue dog who needs help can actually help other dogs! They have mental health that needs to be cared for too.”

We recently spotted Toby among the pigs on his adoptive parents’ farm. Mum, Anita tells us how he’s been getting on there:
“Ours is a free-range for pigs and cattle plus we grow strawberries, so Toby soon had to learn to listen & behave after his arrival!😅 I recall his first 9 hr-day, he was exhausted, after a week he was glad I was there to look after him. After some training he quickly became very much My boy. He follows me everywhere, he jumps onto my ATV bike and stays on it while I’m busy, just watching us all work. Toby knows when it’s safe to join in, in between riding on tractors and running around with the piglets. He checks all the livestock and staff with me! 😉
When it’s too cold or he’s exhausted he becomes an office pug, accompanying Dad who runs a photography business. You can imagine how popular Toby is with his many friends looking forward to seeing him there, and to play with him.
He came to us with some issues as you’d expect facing a brand new environment, and never liked cars on the street, but it isn’t often he has to deal with that. He loves country life and recently had a beach adventure, enjoying coastal walks with doggie friends. We love him so much and occupy every minute he’s awake. We cuddle and sleep with Toby at night, who wouldn’t? We thank you PDWRA for Tobylicious, he’s absolutely delicious!” 😍😘🐾
PDWRA received a call asking if we did anything such as temporary fostering. Dora’s 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 Dora’s diet, skin and eye issues which the owner felt was lacking from her own vet’s.
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.
