Penny

Our wonderful smiley girl Penny was found in a public shelter along with Toby in Romania in 2021. When the rescuer went back to get her out after we agreed to help them she was found with both front legs badly broken. We don’t even want to think about how that happened to her but she’s now safe, happy and very loved by all of our volunteers.

She had both front legs plated and eventually came to us when she had recovered from the surgery. She was absolutely traumatised and couldn’t even look at humans. She just wanted to run and hide herself away.

She slowly accepted a few people and we were able to check her legs where we found one of her plates to be sticking out through the skin. At this point she was still not able to be handled easily and we worried that she wouldn’t cope with more surgery. But our vets were brilliant with her and after 6 weeks of total crate rest she was finally able to walk again.

Penny learned to trust us and has been through a long rehabilitation process, she has grown into the most amazing, super happy and resilient dog and we are in awe of what she’s been through and the dog she is today.

Penny loves people, she knows they bring snacks and lots of cuddles, her favourite thing to do is to give you her paw…over and over again!! She is always first in line when its grooming time and would spend hours being brushed.

We do have to be careful with the amount of exercise Penny has each day as her legs do become sore, we also have to keep a careful eye on her weight as this also impacts her legs.

Penny struggles to find a home we think because of her legs and the fact she will almost certainly have further problems with them. She has a home with us for as long as it takes for her family to come along and your sponsorship will help us with Penny’s long term care.
