Congratulations Team Yorkshire & their amazing supporters who have helped to raise £901.47 for PDWRA! 🐾🐾
Lisa, PDWRA’s Yorkshire Rehoming Co-Ordinator leads the team with Jodie and fundraising volunteer Amanda. The week of their Valentine’s Virtual Fundraising activities in their Facebook Group, offered a wide variety of donated and crafted gifts & prizes, with raffle ticket sales, competitions & games all resulted in this terrific total collected for our pugs in need.
They grew their Facebook Group’s membership, with the help of a number of local newspaper articles in the Yorkshire Evening Post & Halifax Chronicle that raised awareness of their fundraising activities and PDWRA’s work via volunteers.
A lot of fun and Pug-Luv was had, including the engagement of Percy & Mabel with their wedding to look forward to when lockdown is over and meet-ups are safe and possible again.

It’s not every day a world-renowned artist adopts a wonderful pug from PDWRA. You may recognise Maggi Hambling, CBE, a British contemporary painter and sculptor who certainly has good taste as she’s always been a fan of the pug breed! Last year she applied to us when she was looking for a companion to keep her company after losing her dog at that time.
We fortunately had a perfect match for Maggi and this beautiful little PDWRA pug now has a very privileged and cultured life visiting art galleries and having her picture taken by international press photographers! 😉😍💞🐾 The one here at a gallery was featured in the Guardian (taken by Graeme Robertson).
Maggi Hambling is the creator of a sculpture of Oscar Wilde located in Central London, also Scallop, the 4 metre high steel sculpture on Aldeburgh beach, dedicated to honour Benjamin Britten. She is best known for her expressive portraits and sublime depictions of landscapes and seascapes. Working in the tradition of John Constable and J.M.W. Turner.

Loved-up pugs Percy and Mabel have helped to raise awareness of PDWRA’s Yorkshire team of volunteers’ Valentine week of fundraising!
The Halifax Courier tells the story of how their owners, Julie and Danii, who both live in West Yorkshire, met at a pug meet in Leeds and have since set up their own local pug group, Shibden Pugs, who also kindly fundraise for PDWRA.
PDWRA’s Yorkshire Rehoming Co-Ordinator, Lisa oversees the fundraising activities with a team of volunteers including Jodie and Amanda.
Lisa confirms to the Halifax Courier: “PDWRA is a charity dedicated to the welfare and rehoming of pugs. We are run entirely by volunteers and so value all donations. In the last two years we have helped rehome 645 pugs across the UK, and are so grateful to all our supporters and love the creativity of their ideas for fundraising.”

Beautiful Daisy was surrendered to PDWRA due to a change in her owner’s personal circumstances. Her new adopter absolutely adores her, and says it is the best decision she has ever made! 🤗💞
“It’s been a few months since we picked up our little bundle of joy! She was 10.6kg when we got her and is now down to 8.5kg, close to target! She loves her walks and her new favourite snuggle place is anyone’s shoulder. She has been a dream to train, walks to heel very nicely now and even asks permission before chasing other dogs. I’m so proud of her and over the moon with how well we feel she’s doing.
Daisy has settled in better than we ever could have hoped, she takes her position of lap dog very seriously and will request attention if she feels she hasn’t had her fair share!” 😅🐾
