The Pug Dog Welfare & Rescue Association’s AGM will take place on Wednesday 15th October 2025, from 7pm – 7.40pm

We lost one of our stalwarts of the pug world on 19 July 2025, dear old Ralph…

Fundamental to ensuring the charities ongoing success is our highly valued volunteer team roles…

I am sure all of you, and anyone who has had a pug, is familiar with the term ‘BOAS’…

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

My name is Anne and I’ve recently become a Trustee for PDWRA. This is a bit about me…

We are saying a sad farewell and a huge thanks to Helen & Malcolm McKee – Voluntary Vet Advisors to the PDWRA from 2018 – 2025

Loveday’s father leaves his beautiful collection of ceramic pugs to the PDWRA

Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of taking part in a few volunteer initiatives that have been both meaningful and memorable…

The life and times of Little Lottie, aka Crazy Girl, aka Stinky Minky…

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…

As your pet gets older, or if they’re diagnosed with a serious illness, you may worry that they’re suffering and have more bad days than good…

Finding the right match of pug to adopter can mean literally going the extra mile for the pug in question, and this was the case for Wilfred…

Frank was adopted from PDWRA in 2014 when he was just 2.5yrs old and it was the single most best decision we ever made!

I came across the PDWRA, and their appeal for fosterers. I can do that – I thought…

My mum had warned it may be sometime before we heard anything but 2 or 3 weeks later a call came through…

Her owner died. Imagine being fostered out at 15 after a lifetime with one family…

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

I can now walk up to 7 miles in a day, not bad for a Pug who had never been walking before!

Spring brings with it NEW temptations for our furry friends indoors and out. So as usual we need to be vigilant for them!

Rodney came to us 3 years ago to the day as a PDWRA temporary foster boy, for a Christmas stay…

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

The conditions I am discussing today are all inter-related; causes of which are similar to those that can result in a corneal ulcer…

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

She had a number of medical issues when she arrived but as the vet said, “no one told her that!”

Here’s our advice to help your pug brave the cold safely, and stay happy during the wet & cold months…
