Introducing... Penny!

About Penny:

Penny recently arrived with us after spending a very large part of her life living in a public kill shelter in Romania.

She is such a sweet girl that desperately wants to trust but the horrors that she has endured in the kill shelter is making this hard for her. She really is trying her very best though and we beleive she will flourish in a home with 1 on 1 intercations with her very own family - something she has never had.

With other dogs:

Penny is very wary of other dogs. We have mixed her with many of our Oakwood residents and some she has shown to really enjoy being around however when she gets worried she will take herself away and if she is approached by the dog she will react by snapping. In a home she could definately have dog friends in the future but she will need to be adopted as an only dog in the home to avoid any future issues.

High energy

Penny is still a very timid girl and so we do not yet know her true level of energy. We would guess that when she gains full confidence, she could be of a moderate energy level

4-5hrs

Penny has never lived in a home before so to start off with, she will need to be left for very short periods. This could be built up over time to a maximum of 4-5 hours

Requires lead training

Penny has never before walked on a collar / harness and lead. She has only even been manhanled and roughly treated with a grasper pole so lead training will need to be a slow process with lots of patience and positive reinforcement
