PDWRA People

The PDWRA Trustees are supported by a UK-wide framework of regional rehoming co-ordinators (Voluntary Area Co-ordinators – VACs), who facilitate local pug rescue/surrenders, health & welfare assessments, rehabilitation where needed, and onward placement to their best-matched forever homes.

Also essential in supporting these operations are dedicated volunteers managing Communications and Social Media which includes PDWRA’s Website, Facebook, & Instagram.

The PDWRA could not achieve its aims without their expertise, skills & time.

PDWRA Trustees:

Ms Kay Greene (Staffordshire) – Chairman
Ms Alison Dean (Dorset) – Secretary
Anne McDonald (Leicestershire)
Robin Green (London)

Special Notice

We said a sad farewell last summer, with huge thanks to Helen and Malcolm McKee, our dedicated PDWRA Vet Advisors since 2018.

Helen and Malcolm have shared their veterinary expertise and career experience within the Charity over the last 7 years, to help pugs in need to live their best lives. They have both been absolute rocks for the PDWRA making it very hard for us to imagine being without them, constantly on call to offer much needed help and advice, but they have now come to the very hard decision to take a step back this summer in order to be able to spend valuable time with their growing grandchildren.

Over their time spent supporting the Charity, Helen and Malcolm fostered a total of 10 pugs. All of us at the PDWRA will miss them both terribly and will be eternally grateful for the gracious and caring way that they shared their valuable knowledge for the huge benefit of everyone involved.
