Volunteers’ Week is a time for us to show our immense appreciation to everybody that gives their valuable time for the cause of rescuing pugs in need. We couldn’t rescue and rehome the hundreds of pugs that we do each year without our incredible volunteers, we’re immensely grateful to each and every one of them. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers, you are all amazing!

As a token of appreciation for everyone that does such incredible work behind the scenes, helping the PDWRA to rescue and rehome pugs that are in need of our help, we put together a tribute video that tells some of their wonderful stories.

Featured in our video are:

  • Jackie – one of our most experienced Volunteer Area Coordinators
  • Helen – who fosters pugs in need of a short-term home as well as getting involved with transporting
  • Tris – who has fostered for many years and also helps out with transporting and home checking
  • Shirley – who raises money for the charity by doing beautiful drawings of people’s pets
  • Lynn – who fundraises by managing stands at steam rallies selling soft toys, as well as antiques. She also puts on and manages an annual pantomime!
  • Caroline – who does home checking and has also fostered in the past
