❤️🐶 PENNY – HER WHOLE WORLD FITS INSIDE A HUMAN HEART 🐶❤️

💔 Penny arrived in the UK at the end of May and went straight into what everyone hoped would become her forever home. Sadly, the trial has not worked. The lady felt unable to continue because their resident dog has become increasingly stressed by the situation (hiding on a first floor under the bed and not willing to come down) and because Penny has formed a very strong attachment to the lady of the house, what made it even more difficult, as lady has a need to leave home for short time regularly caring for elderly mother.  But even after 2 days from arrival she described Penny exceptionally good, as very friendly, lively, affectionate, great on walks, no accidents in house and very easy to train.

For a newly arrived rescue dog this is not unusual at all. It is exactly what we often see during the first days/ first weeks, and falls completely within the normal 3-3-3 settlement process. Penny arrived after losing everything she knew. Her routine. Her familiar people. Her familiar dogs. Her world. Like many dogs who arrive in a completely unknown environment, she quickly chose one person as her safe place. As soon as dogs begin to understand that they are safe, that the house is their HOME and that people are not disappearing, this need for follow “safe” person naturally reduces.

💔 Rescue Story

Penny was once adopted in Ukraine into what appeared to be a loving home. Photos were sent. Everything looked perfect. But when she was checked on later, reality turned out to be very different. Instead of being part of a family, Penny was found living chained outside, spending her days in a broken leaking kennel. Of course she was seized back to rescue. Despite everything, she never stopped loving people.

🐾 More About Penny

Penny is one of those rare dogs who trusts people almost instantly. She doesn’t hold grudges. She doesn’t make people earn affection for months. She simply opens her heart and gives it.

Her foster says:
” Penny is happy and enthusiastic, and settles into quiet naps or lie downs for a couple hours at a time during work. Between lie-downs she enjoys a bit of a chew and a little play time – very much like an older puppy.
Enjoys the outdoors and especially the grass. She loves water and, has enjoyed her first good run in a secure field.
She gets on well with the two resident dogs. She’s very gentle with our older resident rescue pug, and respects when our middle-aged chihuahua-Pekingese Ukrainian rescue tells her that she doesn’t enjoy playing.
She sleeps all the way through the night at the end of the bed.”

Also foster says that Penny in incredibly trustful, she loves all humans sleight away and happily greets everyone. Even if she might be unsure if some man from start – 20 minutes of sitting session and she will be your lap dog forever.

🏡 Ideal Home

We believe Penny would thrive with another emotionally stable, dog- friendly and playful low-medium or medium-sized dog who enjoys company, in this case part of her enthusiasm will be burned with new furry friend and it will not be a problem to leave them for periods of time after she will settle. Her ideal home is where people are around most of the day and can ensure Penny will be not left alone during the first 2-3 weeks of settlement time.

Penny needs people who understand that newly arrived rescue dogs need time to settle in a new home to feel safe enough and not be too attached.
People who won’t panic when a dog follows them from room to room during the first days. People who understand that attachment is a natural part of the settling process and that trust is something beautiful, not something to be discouraged.

She is very much a companion dog. She wants to share life. To be involved. To belong.

💞 Penny doesn’t love halfway. She throws her whole heart into people. She trusts. She connects. Please don’t let this lovely girl lose her chance because she loves too much, too quickly. ❤️
