Becky’s Story of Adopting Mabel
I came across the PDWRA while searching for a pug to love. We’d lost our beloved pug Frank in early August 2024 and were devastated. Frank was 11 years old and had been part of our family since he was a puppy.
Our home felt so empty without him and life just wasn’t the same. I knew we had so much love to give another pug, so I applied to adopt. I had asked for a boy, not because it mattered but we were used to having a boy around. Then a few days later, our local Volunteer Area Coordinator Lisa called and told me about Mabel. That was it! I knew Mabel needed me as much as I needed her.
Mabel’s lovely foster Mum, Michelle, arrived with Mabel and our beautiful little girl peeked nervously round the sofa. For me it was love at first sight! Mabel is the most adorable, gentle, kind and loving little girl anyone could wish for. She’s the boss now, of course, and I know my place… no walks in the rain, meals on time and plenty of treats. I can’t imagine life without her!
