Penny

Penny 🐾

Female | Approx. 2 Years Old | Fostered in the UK Derby.

Penny is a sweet, affectionate little girl with a gentle nature and a huge heart. While she can be a little shy when meeting new people, once she learns to trust you she quickly becomes a loving companion who enjoys fuss, cuddles, toys, and being close to her humans.

Since arriving in foster care, Penny has made fantastic progress. Her confidence is growing every day, and she is learning that the world isn’t quite as scary as she first thought. She is a lovely example of a dog who simply needs patience, kindness, and understanding to truly shine.

About Penny

Penny lives happily alongside her foster family’s resident dog and enjoys canine company. She is playful, friendly, and has shown no issues around other dogs in the home. She loves playing with toys and enjoys spending time relaxing next to her doggy friends.

Although still a little nervous around strangers, Penny is improving daily and is becoming more confident on her walks. She responds well to gentle encouragement and is beginning to enjoy exploring her surroundings.

Walking & Socialisation

Penny can be a little nervous when out and about, particularly around unfamiliar people and sudden noises. However, her confidence continues to improve with every walk. She has not shown any reactivity towards other dogs and is learning to enjoy new experiences at her own pace.

Cats

Penny has not lived with cats in foster care. However, she has seen cats whilst out on walks and has shown very little interest or reaction.

Children

As Penny can still be nervous in new situations, we would be looking for a calm home environment. Older, sensible children 7+ may be considered, but we would discuss this with potential adopters on an individual basis.

What Type of Home is Penny Looking For?

Penny could happily live as an only dog or with another friendly resident dog. She would thrive in a patient and loving home where her adopters understand that confidence takes time to build.

She doesn’t need much—just a comfy bed, plenty of love, and people willing to help her continue blossoming into the wonderful little dog she is becoming.

Foster’s Summary

“Penny is gaining confidence and trust every day. She is a lovely little dog with so much potential and will make a wonderful companion for the right family.”
