About Penny

Penny is a delightful four-year-old Jack Russell Terrier currently staying with us through our Homestay Scheme while she and her best friend Cash look for a loving new home. Penny is a wonderfully sweet and affectionate little dog. Once she feels safe, she loves nothing more than gentle fuss and will happily nudge you for more attention. Though she may initially appear a bit shy with new people, she warms up beautifully with calm, patient reassurance. She accepts handling well and prefers slow, predictable movements, making her a lovely, sensitive companion. Her bond with Cash is especially heart‑warming; seeing him brings her pure joy, and their friendship offers her confidence and comfort. Together, they make a wonderful pair. Penny has previously had very little experience being left alone, so she’ll benefit from short, gradual absences at first to help her build independence in a positive and gentle way. She can travel in the car but finds it a little worrying, choosing to lie quietly in the boot until she arrives. With time, encouragement, and gentle desensitisation, her confidence with car journeys can continue to grow. Overall, Penny is a gentle, loving girl who thrives on reassurance, consistency, and kind interactions. She will make a truly rewarding companion for the right family—especially alongside her beloved friend, Cash.
