Welcome to the PWR News page

For anyone thinking about adopting or fostering, our advice would be to go in with an open heart and realistic expectations…

We filled in the form, had the zoom call interview and were really happy to be chosen to adopt!

A month later, I had a call from PDWRA to say there was a one-year-old dog called Leo in need of adoption…

To anyone who is considering fostering/adopting, speak to PDWRA as I can’t recommend them highly enough!

She was a little timid at first, and unsure of her new surroundings and what she was and wasn’t allowed to do..

Pumpkin makes everyone she meets smile and is such a funny character, who loves a body twerk!

We were asked to foster a bonded Mum and Daughter pair, and we were so happy to help out…

She’s very cheeky, but I will admit we let her get away with a lot because she had a rough start, and she’s just very cute!

David turned to PWR for help in the search for a country retreat – land with huntin’ and fishin’ rights was the remit…

My husband messaged me, he’d had to call the fire brigade as Jethro had got his head stuck in the hole of his raised bowl!!!

We contacted a couple pug charities but found the PDWRA to be the most welcoming and friendly team to go forward with…

A few days later, our local Volunteer Area Coordinator Lisa called and told me about Mabel. That was it!

Personality wise, JJ is lots of fun – he can still be quite anxious but he is a sweetheart with dogs and people…

Pugs have been part of my life all my life- my parents had a pug before they had me!

Let me introduce Buster and Bentley, two Pugs that we adopted from PDWRA back in March 2023…

After a couple of months or so, I started to have a tentative look for any pugs that might be in need of a new home…

We are a family of dog lovers who had dogs in the past, but when I had some health problems and we weren’t sure whether we had the capacity to offer a dog a long term home

Our daughter and her dog moved home, the house felt empty without them. We were searching for a small dog that would enjoy walks…

We adopted Betty in 2015, she was a little over 5 years old and my most vivid memory of her is arriving at 2pm on the 26th March…

We adopted our chaotic 4kg bundle of energy, also known as Sandra, in February 2024 and have not looked back…

Less than a fortnight later, I received a call from PDWRA asking if we could foster a little girl for 2 weeks who was about to be surrendered…

I couldn’t believe there was a charity literally dedicated to rehoming pugs…

Pepper and Sid are inseparable, they adore each other and also enjoy a good squabble too!

We have so much gratitude for the PDWRA. The match  between us and our puggie-ladies is perfect!

Winston is so funny, cleaver and very naughty, he’s always up to some sort of mischief!

When we first laid eyes on Poppy, it was love at first sight, she was the sweetest little thing…

When my colleague said that her friend was fostering a pug for PDWRA that needed a home, I was immediately interested!
