Hoping a few of our supporters might be able to help us. And before anything else, a big thank to everyone who has donated to Pennypaws to help us rescue more dogs. We couldn’t do what we do without you. And every penny we raise goes to help more dogs. We are run by a team of just 5 volunteers.
So…we are hoping to persuade supporters to donate £1 a month to Pennypaws Rescue. It’s easy to do – just click the pic or the donate button above. You can donate with a credit/debit card and of course cancel at any time. Thank you so much for considering.
It can be very distressing to see your dog suffering on firework’s night or during a thunder storm. Often they cannot sit still and the stress and anxiety they suffer can be very upsetting and worrying. So here are some tips on how to try and help and some recorded sounds that when used carefully at low volume in small stages, may help to desensitize your dog to these scary sounds.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG ALONE WITH THESE SOUNDS PLAYING AT ANY TIME. WHEN PLAYING THE AUDIO ALWAYS KEEP A CAREFUL EYE ON THEM AND START AT LOW VOLUME, GUAGING THEIR REACTION.
When using the audio below – please start with just a few seconds at low volume – watching your dog(s) at all times. Do a little bit at a time, gradually increasing the volume, and if they are not scared by it give them a treat and praise them. If it upsets them, stop immediately. Later on, try again at a lower volume, but if it still makes your dog anxious, stop. The idea is not to scare them but to try and get them used to the sounds. Remember it will take time, and it may not work.
Keeps doors and windows shut, close the curtains and distract your dog with other non-threatening sounds and music – e.g. turn the tv on and up the volume
Make sure they have a ‘safe place’ to retreat to – with water and treats – if that’s what they need to do, make it easy for them.
It may not be helpful to try and cuddle your dog through a scary noise episode – distraction techniques and finding a quieter place might be more beneficial
If concerned, consult your vet.

Dogs like this are now stuck in Romanian killshelters because of the UK government ban
Without any warning in April this year, the government suspended the movement of cats, dogs and ferrets from Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and Romania. For rescue organisations like Pennypaws Rescue this was a devastating development. Originally the ban was for one month – but has now been extended to the 9th July 2022. The ban threatens the safety of dogs we are in the process of rescuing from appalling conditions in kill shelters in Romania, as well as driving small volunteer run rescue organisations like us to financial breaking point. Without rescue organisations more and more dogs will suffer in terrible coinditions. Whatever happens we are still working with our contacts in Romania to rescue dogs out there, and while the ban is in place we are now also rescuing dogs from Greece.
Pennypaws Rescue meticulously fulfills all the paperwork, conditions and vaccinations required by UK law to bring animals here. It makes no sense to ban dogs being rescued by us, and we desperately need the ban to be lifted on the 9th July or for animal rescue organisations to be exempted. There is genuine concern that the government will extend the ban indefinitely.
We desperately need the ban to be lifted on the 9th July but are very concerned that the government will extend the ban indefinitely.
What you can do to help lift the ban and save more dogs suffering in desperate conditions…
