PDWRA is a registered charity in the UK – number 276067. Strict rules are followed regarding the welfare, rescue and rehoming of all pugs. No profits are made and everyone gives their time and talents freely. PDWRA operates throughout the whole of the UK and has a maximum of twelve Trustees, who are able to assist a pug in need in any part of the country. Should any further assistance be required, such as vetting a possible new home, and help with transport, the Trustees can call upon volunteers including members of Friends of Welfare, whose contribution since this group was first formed has been invaluable. Each year we re-home and rescue many pugs. You will find some of their stories, and many photographs, on the website and on social media.
Through traditional and social media, events and word of mouth, we promote our services to support people who may wish to surrender their pugs into our care. We then support adopters and fosterers in their journey as new pug owners. PDWRA is one of the only charities that continues to pay for ongoing medical treatment of the medical issues that each pug faces when it is surrendered into our care.
