Our 52nd Year – Helping Pugs in Need!
PDWRA’s essential work, Rescuing, Rehabilitating and Rehoming Pugs, can only occur due to the generosity of volunteers and donators.
If you are able to help in any way to raise funds, we and our pugs are truly grateful!

Many supporters donate to PDWRA from collections or proceeds from local Events, their Businesses, Crafts, Hobbies or Sports:
On May 11th, Leona will be running in the AJ Bell Great Bristol Run 10K in aid of PDWRA!
Leona says “I’m running to raise money for this wonderful charity that I adopted our pug Bertie from. They helped me daily whilst I got to know Bertie and paid for the operations he needed, which cost a lot! They do this for every pug in their care that needs medical help. I also volunteer with them, helping to find new homes for pugs.
Could you sponsor Leona on her 10k challenge? If so, just click below to visit her Just Giving page, every little helps!
Another adopter who turned her skills to fundraising for PDWRA is Shirley. She responded to one our appeals last year having lost her poodle and had health problems herself but wanted to offer Daphne a home. They have been best buddies ever since and Shirley shares beautiful photos of their daily walks & adventures with their local canine chums in PDWRA’s internal Facebook group!

Another PDWRA supporter, Jayne, who creates handmade cards and illustrations, raised * £150 * last summer for PDWRA in a fundraiser to mark the 15th birthday of her late, gorgeous pug Henry. He was her inspiration for her business onelittlepug, so his legacy lives on!
Her lovely range of handmade cards, with many featuring pug illustrations, can usually be found at her Etsy shop: onelittlepug – Etsy UK
A portion of all proceeds is donated to PDWRA, so you’ll also be helping out Pugs in Need!
In fact Jayne went on to adopt Arlo and Nora from us!
To see what’s available and to grab something unique & original, just take a look @onelittlepug before they all get snapped up!
@onelittlepug and Arlo & Nora raised £130 for PDWRA from the sale of exclusive illustrations, cards and bookmarks last summer.
We’re incredibly grateful for their ongoing support and to everyone who makes purchases. The PDWRA wouldn’t be able do the work that we do rescuing and rehoming pugs in need without the generous help of our supporters, it’s very much appreciated!

We have many local pug groups who regularly remember us when they get-together or hold events to which we are extremely grateful.
Here are just a few examples:
The Northumberland and North Tyneside Pug Meet Up Group held their first ever Christmas walk & Secret Santa in aid of the PDWRA. They are a growing group of Pug devotees in the North East of England, who welcome other breeds to join them, and have been busy coming up with ideas to raise much needed funds for the Charity.
Early last year down in the beautiful region of Cornwall, a memorial walk was held for a truly beloved pug, Magnolia.
Magnolia’s Mum Mandy, who has fundraised for us with her crafts in the past, together with the wonderful pug owners in their group, collected and donated £50 to PDWRA, which we are very grateful for.

Lynn, seen here, uses every opportunity to fundraise for the PDWRA. She’s famed for her Teddy Tombola’s appearing at many local community events.
She generously made and donated over * £1,200 * from her efforts last summer to PDWRA.
Lynn has donated * £ hundreds from local events like this * and with husband Geoff, so they continue….!
They have a grumble of five male pugs, including fosters with substantial needs, who they welcomed with open arms and never let them go!
