Volunteers’ Week 2026 is a time for us to say thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers

Volunteers’ Week 2026

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. Thankyou 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 this 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 rellies 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
