🩷💛PENNY🩷💛

Beautiful Penny is a dog that’s been with us for a very long time. Penny came to us from Romania as an emergency. She had suffered 2 broken legs in the shelter where she also had surgery and metal plates inserted. Penny arrived terrified. She would scale the walls and look for any escape route she could. It took a long time to desensitise Penny. To get her on a lead. To be able to touch her and reassure her she was safe.

Penny’s body started to reject the plates in her leg and she needed them out. She had surgery to remove the plates which were huge and must have been so uncomfortable for her. The bones have healed and we did not replace the plates. We rehabilitated Penny for many months and took everything at her pace. We’re not sure where the corner was but she turned it and fast forward to now…. Penny is so happy!! She loves her walks, zooms round the field, loves a snack from her human friends and loves a fuss. She loves to learn and loves to love. She is such a sweetheart and gets really excited to see us with a super wiggly bum and kisses.

We have recently started doing some fun training with Pen, sit and paw. She is smashing it and it shows how intelligent she is but also given the time, how obedient she is. She is sitting without a treat now and just loves the praise!

Penny does need a very experienced and adult only home. She can still be nervous and takes some time to make friends. Penny needs to live with another dog in a calm and patient environment who will realise that this is a huge move for Penny - she doesn’t understand this will hopefully be her last ever move and will find this really scary.
