Here’s a PDWRA adopter celebrating rescuing Hugo, 1 year on!
“We collected lovely Hugo, our first foster pug, a year ago, believing it was only for the Christmas period. We were looking for a golden oldie and had been waiting for a funny little old pug. We knew, though from the moment Hugo walked into our house he’d be impossible to let go – and we couldn’t have wished for any better than this gorgeous chap!
It hasn’t all been plain sailing – the first few weeks were an eye opener as he peed on surfaces I never even knew I had plus he struggled with separation anxiety- but we knew we wanted to be his forever home.
He was a very sprightly 7 year-old and went from living alone, to living with dogs and cats and a teenager. He’s such a resilient little soul and so sweet and kind to others – unless they walk past the gate or are on the TV – then it’s a different story!😂 Hugo takes everything in his stride and simply loves everyone in our home, including his toy penguin which we gave him on his first day and takes everywhere with him, making him even more lovable.
Hugo always knows how to start a game or hunt for toys or bark at pigeons and we wouldn’t have him any other way. We really hope we are giving him the best life as he’s given so much joy to ours. He’s surpassed all our expectations in having a pug, we’re just so happy to have him in our lives- he’s simply adorable and we feel very lucky to have him.” 💞🐾

When many of us were under near-lockdown restrictions, PDWRA received a sad phone call on Boxing Day to rehome a little pug called Bella. There were family circumstances which meant she had to be collected the following morning. Her owner was very sad on that call but knew it was the only choice she had at the time, and her beloved Bella wouldn’t be placed just anywhere that was available, but the best home for her. Our Area Coordinator could confidently reassure her of that and was also going to make the 4 hour round trip herself, to collect Bella.
Unfortunately, she had to battle through the snow to collect her before her owner had to leave for an onward train journey. She made it in time, and Bella made her first ever car journey! She did really well.
Bella has since settled in fabulously. She’s full of beans, cute as a button and enjoying her new adventure in a kind and caring home. Her owner would be very comforted to know this.
PDWRA is available 24/7 to call regarding pugs in need, thanks to our dedicated volunteers across the country.

We would like to wish a Happy New Year to All our Supporters and Volunteers!
We also have a very special “Thank You” from Tommy, who was surrendered before Christmas and we appealed for donations to help with the physio & hydrotherapy needs to help him with his rear mobility issue. Unfortunately this stems from abnormal spine development following irresponsible breeding. However, he has been given the best chance in life, thanks to the love and donations he has received for this. He has had a wonderful Christmas in his devoted foster home, as you can see!
Thank You for supporting our rescues like Tommy and “Here’s to a Better 2021 for everyone!”
