Peter, regularly transports pugs between their destinations, on the road to their forever, loving homes. He’s one of those diamonds who never says no. He knows we wouldn’t ask if there were others available to suit the collection or delivery destinations and for the dates needed.
Peter’s been known to make multiple trips in a week or to take a pug cross-counties to a specialist vet consultation or procedure. He and his wife Alison have also fostered pairs, long-term, seeing them through surgeries and after-care. They patiently attend all the vet visits reporting back to their PDWRA Area Coordinator who supports them throughout. Peter says “It’s why we foster them though, so that they are comfortable until their perfect home is found”.
One pug that really stole Peters’ heart, was Dillon. He will remain with him forever now. A cheeky, gorgeous boy seen here, with a few ailments as he ages. He also has to ‘tolerate’ all the visiting fosters which he takes in his stride. They have become extra-close during lockdown.
Peter has transported so many pugs in his time volunteering. His busiest period was probably the last 6 months of 2019 when he recalls driving around 20 pugs. In one town that only had 2 car parks, it was amusing when Peter and the person he was delivering a pug to, were waiting for each other in different ones!
Peter has got to know our other regular fosterers pretty well, familiar with their foster pugs’ stories and journeys to their forever homes. Our volunteers’ teamwork is amazing, and we couldn’t do what we do, without those like Peter, very much at the heart of our extended PDWRA family.
Thank You Peter!
