About Pugs in South Yorkshire

When we checked on 29 October 2026, one Pug was listed in South Yorkshire: a male dog with Helping Yorkshire Poundies, whose kennels are near Rotherham.

At Helping Yorkshire Poundies most dogs have been collected from dog pounds, so it rarely has any history on them; if a dog suits you, it arranges a meet and greet at its kennels or with the foster carer, and encourages as many visits as you like before you commit. The Pug Dog Welfare & Rescue Association takes applications from people over 21 in England and Wales, apart from parts of the South West, with minimum donations from £500 for a Pug under one to £100 for one aged 11 or over. National Pug Protection Trust rehomes Pugs from foster homes, with a recommended donation from £500 for a dog up to two to £100 for one aged ten or more.

What Pugs are like to live with

The Pug is a companion dog. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as "a lot of dog in a small frame", and says Pugs "are affectionate, sociable dogs that thrive on human company and were bred purely as companions, not for work". It says traders from the Dutch East India Company are thought to have taken dogs of this type from China to the Netherlands in the 16th century, and that William of Orange's Pugs came with him when he took the English throne.

Do Pugs have breathing problems?

Breathing is a recognised concern in the breed. The Royal Kennel Club asks Pug breeders to have their dogs' breathing graded for BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome), and says the flat face limits a Pug's tolerance for heat and hard exercise. PDSA says snorts, snores and loud breathing can be a sign of BOAS and are worth a word with a vet. Ask the rescue what vet checks this dog has had.

Can Pugs be left alone?

Not for long. The Royal Kennel Club says Pugs dislike being left alone for long periods and can be prone to separation anxiety, and PDSA says a Pug should never be left for longer than four hours. Ask the rescue how this dog copes on its own.

Are Pugs good with children?
