Within a couple of days, I heard from my local PDWRA VAC and had a virtual home check…

After the initial introduction to his new home and fur sister, Cody and Tia were soon playing together…

Doris had clearly been very much loved as she arrived with a little letter, a bed with blankets and 2 large bags of toys and goodies…

We were sat in the garden chatting and he came trotting down the path with two much larger front teeth…

He’s such a loving dog, I call him my doggy soulmate as we have such a special bond!

He has a female fan club who sit in reception all day waiting to get a kiss from him…

We adopted Poppy this Mother’s Day, she was originally a foster but we prayed we could adopt her the moment we saw her photo…

We saw a social-media post on the PDWRA internal Facebook group for pug-adopters, about a bonded-pair…

We both knew that we wanted to adopt a pug because we loved the breed but really wanted to get a rescue…

Handsome boy, big brown puppy dog eyes and the pug head tilt, true to type characteristics…

When Reggie first arrived, he didn’t even know how to play properly and would tear toys apart…
