About Penny
Penny is a lovely girl who came to us for rehoming due to her previous owner not being able to cope with her – they’d only had her for a few weeks, after finding her advertised online as a Whippet, and during that time she has gained weight and been seen by the vet – it looks like her underweight condition is down to not being fed correctly in her first home!
Penny is a lovely natured dog – she’s very friendly and sociable with people, and loves company. She is also okay with other dogs, but is quite intent on playing!
Penny does suffer with some separation anxiety… and will vocalise when she’s left. Her ideal home would be with people who are around a lot to keep her company, as well as building her confidence to be left alone for short periods. She may also benefit from living with another dog (depending on a dog meeting). She’s unable to live with cats.
She enjoys getting out and about on her walks, particularly enjoying her time off lead in our secure paddocks… however, she does also love to snuggle up in her bed with her PJs on, on chilly days!
Obviously Penny needs to gain some weight, and we are feeding her regular small meals to increase her calorie intake.
