Update on Elsie:

She is still in the clinic, receiving the best care. As you can see below, she has lost a lot of her ear but also has a few other bite/injuries that she is being treated for.

This poor girl has been through a lot but we hope she’ll be back with her sisters soon 💕

Thank you to everyone who helped get her to safety, so she could get the help she so desperately needed 💗🐾

Urgenty Needed – Fosterers

FOSTERS DESPERATELY NEEDED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS
If you can help or would like to just find out more about fostering, please contact Gill Jenness on 07795 803434 or admin@pennypawsrescue.org.uk

  • BATH AND SURROUNDING AREAS 
  • NORWICH/NORFOLK AREAS 
  • LINCOLNSHIRE 
  • LANCASHIRE /CUMBRIA
  • LEEDS 
  • OTHER AREAS CONSIDERED 

At Pennypaws we have many beautiful friendly dogs all waiting for UK homes.
These dogs are all in safe private shelters having been saved from the horrific kill shelters in Romania.
All have been assessed, vaccinated and have passports ready to travel to the UK.

We desperately need fosters with dog experience for these beautiful dogs, and will provide all the necessary support, help and advice. These dogds are all so deserving of a warm loving home here in the UK – can you help them?

As a foster, you play a vital role in preparing them to move on to their forever adoptive home – but you also always have the option to adopt the dog yourselves . (it’s known as being a failed foster!)
If you can help or would just like to find out more please contact Gill Jenness on 07795 803434 or admin@pennypawsrescue.org.uk

Thank you.

Beautiful Buddy / Bear – saved from a kill shelter – needs a home

Calling out for a special person!

Beautiful Buddy also known as Bear

I was saved from a kill shelter in Romania by PennyPaws Rescue several months ago and brought here to the UK.

I was fostered by a lovely family, but I found it really hard to fit into normal family life, after my experiences back in Romania. The challenges proved too much for me and I am upset to report that I have bitten because of that – but I have been a very good boy at the kennels with all my carers. I’m not a bad boy, and in the right environment I am a loving and loyal companion. My name used to be Bear but I’m much more suited to Buddy.

I find the pressures and expectations of family life too much to cope with and people (other than my special person) worry me and I get anxious and tense. I’m really looking for a single person home, with an experienced person who will be around most of the time although I don’t mind being left for reasonable periods on my own.
A place that is preferably rural with plenty of space where I wouldn’t need to go out on formal walks, as meeting strangers upsets me. Someone with a small holding who needs mainly just my company but has the capability of putting me out of the way if they have visitors as they too make me anxious.

If I can have all of this, I could be your best friend but you do need to be sure that you can give me this before you reply. If you feel that you can be my special person, please email admin@pennypawsrescue.org.uk or you can call 07795 803434.

A lovely inspiring note from one of our adopters…

“I have one of your beautiful dogs.  She is approx 3 years old and is the most loving dog I’ve had in over 50 years of dog ownership. 

I’ve always had a rescue dog but most were the result of broken relationships or the death of an elderly owner.  Your dogs are special as you’ve actually saved their lives.  This makes me feel happy knowing that I’m giving a dog the chance to live, and know happiness, love, and comfort.”

Thank you so much to Linda for getting in touch with us to share those words.
