Meet our Senior Stars! 🌟

Our older rescued Pennypaws dogs are longing to swap another bitter Romanian winter for a warm, safe, and loving UK home. Can you help them find the comfort they deserve?

To help these beautiful older dogs find their forever families before the freezing weather hits, our Senior Stars have a reduced adoption fee of £395.

Every senior dog has so much love left to give—they are typically calmer, wonderfully affectionate, and incredibly grateful for a cozy bed.

👉 Ready to change a life?

• View all our Senior Stars here to find your perfect match.
• Fill out an Adoption & Fostering Application Form to start the process.

Jonathan’s Pennypaws Charity Half Marathon 🐾
LIVE STREAM YOUTUBE @pennypawsrescue
DONATE HERE PLEASE TO HELP THE DOGS

Pennypaws volunteer Jonathan Slatter is taking on a 21K Half Marathon on Saturday 19th September to raise urgently needed funds for dogs rescued from the kill shelters of Romania.

But Jonathan is also running for the Love of Lenny ❤️

Lenny was a dear old boy rescued by Pennypaws in Romania. Thanks to the amazing support of Pennypaws supporters, he was able to spend his final months in a little more comfort, surrounded by love and care.

Now Jonathan is running in Lenny’s memory — and for all the dogs who still desperately need our help.

The Route

A slight change of plan for my 21K run today to raise money for Pennypaws Rescue and in memory of the rescued old boy Lenny.

I was supposed to be running it round the Isle of Portland today to raise money for Pennypaws Rescue, and Zoey and I were going to sail down there and make a few days of it based in Portland Marina.
Unfortunately, the strong winds have made sailing there with dogs a pretty bad idea. On top of that, I’ve unexpectedly ended up looking after another rescue dog called ‘James’ here in Bath, whose owner has sadly been taken seriously ill and is currently in hospital.

James needed somewhere to go urgently and so he’s here, and a lovely sweet boy he is – but with my two dogs already here, getting away to Portland on a boat became a bit of a logistical nightmare!
So, rather than postpone the run, I’ve decided to simply bring the half marathon home.

I’m still running 21K today at 8am (Saturday 19th) – it’ll just be around Bath rather than Portland. I’m heading out towards Bristol on the old Midland Railway Line – now known as the Bristol to Bath Railway Path, following the River Avon as it meanders towards Bristol.

21 kilometres. One spectacular route. One very special reason.

❤️ Please support Jonathan’s run

Every donation, however small, will help Pennypaws continue rescuing, caring for and finding loving homes for dogs who desperately need a second chance.

Run for Lenny. Run for the dogs. 🐾

Portland Marina and the Isle of Portland

We are planning to sail across from Poole aboard Bear Poles and moor the boat at the excellent Portland Marina, using the boat as our base for the run. Zoey will stay onboard to handle the YouTube livestream (and look after the dogs!) while I attempt to run around the Isle of Portland…

Portland Marina is one of the nicest marinas on the south coast that we have stayed at, and we come here as often as we can. It has a great location, first-class facilities and a really relaxed and welcoming vibe.

If you’re visiting by boat, the pilotage is very straightforward and the visitor pontoons are the first ones you see as you enter the marina. Just call the marina on VHF Channel 80 or book in advance during busy periods. It’s also worth listening to Channel 74 for Portland Port Operations, particularly if you are coming through the East Ship Channel (ESC).

The Isle of Portland itself is beautiful and historic, with lots of amazing walks and treasures to discover. If you’re feeling energetic, the walk all the way along to Portland Bill is well worth the effort. Alternatively, you can easily catch an open-top bus from near the marina entrance, next to the UK Sailing Academy.

On your doorstep you’ll find great pubs, restaurants, cafés and fish and chip shops, as well as Chesil Beach and the historic and busy commercial Port of Portland.

It’s a brilliant place to visit by boat, and we’re really looking forward to spending a few days here around the run.

To find out more about adopting a dog with Pennypaws Rescue please email: admin@pennypawsrescue.org.uk

Every puppy deserves to grow up in a loving home, not in a shelter.

In this video, Gill from Pennypaws Rescue explains why we urgently need adopters for 16 beautiful rescue puppies currently waiting in our Romanian partner shelters.

Many of these puppies were rescued alongside their mothers after being found abandoned or living in difficult conditions. Thanks to rescue, they are now safe – but they still need the most important thing of all: a family of their own.

Sadly, puppies who spend their early months growing up in shelters miss out on the love, socialisation and security that every young dog deserves. We are determined to find them the forever homes they need here in the UK.

If you have been considering adopting a dog, please take a look at our puppies currently available for adoption:

Puppies available for adoption

Even if you are unable to adopt, you can make a huge difference by sharing this video with friends, family and animal lovers.

Together, we can help these puppies find the loving homes they are waiting for.

Thank you for supporting rescue dogs and Pennypaws Rescue.
