Here are the 14 pugs now placed happily in their new homes during November by our South/South East area rehoming teams.
A huge thank you to all our adopters, fosterers, home checkers and transporters who have made this tremendous achievement possible.
This is Rosie’s story. She’s why we do what we do.
We have helped 373 pugs so far this year, and our vet bill is £201,069.

Thank you.
An enormous thank you goes to Lucy Brobyn for raising an amazing £508.60 for PDWRA in memory of her pug-loving Dad, Paul. Here are Daisy and Rosie, the family pugs, with some of our supporters from their walk in Kent last weekend. A terrific achievement – Paul would have been very proud of you all.
If you can volunteer in this Area, we would love to hear from you, but please remember that online applications to foster will close on 1 December until 6 January 2020.

before 30 November, or after 6 January 2020. This is because of our annual Christmas closure for applications.
Thank you.
Elly came in as she didn’t get on with the family’s other dog. She has now been adopted, living as an only dog and getting all the love and attention she could possibly want.
Marion came in as she had separation anxiety, and wanted attention constantly. She has now been adopted by a lovely family with 2 other dogs; she gets on especially well with the other pug, and has settled in so well.
Troy was surrendered because his family felt he wasn’t getting enough attention. He has settled into his new home really well; his new family say it’s like he has always been with them, and they adore him.
Delilah wasn’t getting on with the other resident dogs; they were fighting, so she came into foster. She’s now in a home without any other dogs, is really enjoying human company, and has settled brilliantly.
We love happy endings!
Here are some of the pugs that have been adopted during October in the South and South East Areas.
Big thank you to all the fosterers, transporters and home checkers who have helped these lovely pugs into their forever homes.

Big thanks to Kay and John Greene – and their pugs – who represented PDWRA, together with Monika and her pug Teddy, alongside the Breed Council, at the National Pet Show held at the NEC in Birmingham this weekend.

Here are some photos of the event!
Sent to us by one of our lovely foster carers in Yorkshire: someone recently asked her what’s involved with being a foster carer for PDWRA. This was her message:
“It’s all in the fostering brief …
Love them, love them some more.
Try to work out what they need.
Love them some more.
Think about them leaving.
Love them some more.
Watch them leave.
Love them some more.
When they leave, remember they are loved.
Some more.
It’s how we look at it.”

On 8th October volunteers from across Yorkshire took their pugs to meet students from Digs Student Accommodation in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
We played ‘stick the tongue on the pug’ and ‘name the pug’, and the students had a great time playing with the pugs while the owners enjoyed a cuppa!! Pip, who fosters (with her mum Maria and dad Marcus), raffled off her soft toy collection in aid of PDWRA – thanks Pip we know it was a big sacrifice to part with them!
It was lovely that the students had such a lovely time and they got lots and lots of cuddles! As we left they said “this has been the best night ever!” And “please, please, please come back soon!!”
We raised over £150 and are excited to be going back on the 8th December for a fabulous Pug Christmas Party.

PDWRA volunteers and their pugs were at Discover Dogs at Excel in London on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October.
Our trade stand was very busy on both days – photos below of some of our volunteers and visitors during the day.
We also met PDWRA rescue pug Tallulah, who was taking part in the release of the Kennel Club breed rescue calendar.
On Sunday, PDWRA pugs enjoyed their own booth in the Rescue Area.
Lynne Kellow, PDWRA Secretary and Trustee, writes:
“The only way is Team Essex!
Thank you to our fantastic Team from Essex who represented PDWRA at Discover Dogs last weekend.
The Team was organised by our Area Co-ordinator Clare, with Karen, Yasmin, Steve, Sally, Emma, Nikki, Jon, Rebekah, Darcie, Marcia, Jasmine, Peter, and our President Janet, Trustees Alison and Charlotte, and of course their lovely pugs! They enjoyed meeting everyone – including some famous faces!”
Our most grateful thanks to all the volunteers and their pugs – many of whom helped on both days – for giving up their weekend to represent our charity at this very important event.
A huge thank you to Poldhu Pug Meet – they enjoyed a lovely afternoon and sold yummy treats to raise funds for PDWRA.
Looks like you had a great time on that very beautiful beach with some very lucky pugs!
