Thank you for choosing to surrender your pug to PDWRA. We understand this is a difficult decision for you as an owner and we would like to offer you some reassurance:

  • All pugs are placed in foster homes rather than kennels
  • Your pug will be assessed by one of our fosterers to find them the perfect match

About Your Pug

While we all love our pugs, they can have their quirks, please provide us with as much information as possible, telling us all about their likes and dislikes. Do not worry, it will not deter us.

  1. Please let us know if your pug has any health issues. This will not put us or our adopters off. If your pug arrives with health concerns, PDWRA will cover any necessary treatment and ongoing veterinary care for life.
  2. We would appreciate it if you could include a photo of your pug. Pugs love having their picture taken, so try and get their best side and of course their lovely face. We will try and help every pug we are asked to but on occasions we may not always be able to help.
  3. If you know your pug’s microchip number, please share it with us. If not, your vet can scan your pug and provide the number. It is usually a 15-digit number, so we do not expect you to know it from memory. The pug should have your name as being the keeper but if not do not worry, it will be something we can help you with.
  4. Contact information and area. Finally, if you call or email us, please provide your name, the best telephone number to reach you on, and the area where you live. Thank you.
