Fred came to the UK from the Far East, with his original parents. Their family was expanding and they came to the very difficult decision to surrender him to PDWRA when they realised that they could no longer give him the attention he deserved. One of our adoptive families who were willing to foster him, went to collect him. All his belongings were ready outside, food, bedding, toys etc. and his Mum was too upset to say goodbye. It was absolutely heart-breaking for all concerned.
His fosterer Cheryl tells us, “Unfortunately, when Fred first arrived he did have a number of health issues that needed attending to. He’s such a beautiful boy and we knew we just couldn’t let him be adopted. We had to keep him. We knew he’d get a beautiful home but made the decision that he wasn’t going anywhere. Thankfully there was no argument from our Area Coordinator, Dee who placed our resident pug Mollie, with us 3 years ago. She knew we could give him a perfect forever home too. We just hadn’t been on the adoption waiting list as we hadn’t considered it, until Fred!
With lots of love and care, time and patience, a change of diet and medication, he blossomed. His skin became healthier and he’s so much happier living life to the full. Mollie, is half his size, but bosses him around which he just takes in his stride. He’s so laid back and nothing phrases him. The best things we ever did was to adopt Mollie and foster Fred.
We can’t thank our Area Coordinator Dee, and everyone within the PDWRA family, enough. They have been absolutely amazing and we are so blessed to have two beautiful pugs in our lives. Xx “
