Established for over 50 years – 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!
Here’s what was achieved in the first 3 months of this year for Pugs in Need:
Then by early June, this was a snapshot of what our dedicated PDWRA Volunteers achieved:

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 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 nearly 6 months ago. To celebrate this anniversary and what would have been Henry’s 16th Birthday, she has added a few new designs to raise funds exclusively for PDWRA!
On Friday 26th July, Jayne had a sale of exclusive illustrations, cards & bookmarks, none of which are available in her Etsy shop.
We’re very happy to announce that @onelittlepug and Arlo & Nora raised an amazing £130 for PDWRA from the sale of exclusive illustrations, cards and bookmarks at the end of last week!We’re incredibly grateful for their support and to everyone who made 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!

Her 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 just donated * £160 * this July, from this local event, following * £170 * from the sale of festive soldiers and reindeers that Lynn’s husband Geoff created last Christmas, and 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!
