Peggy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Peggy was in the council pound and was due to be put to sleep imminently, so finding a rescue space for her was mega urgent. We offered her a lifeline and picked her up from the kennels. Once there, however, we realised she was a little bigger than we'd anticipated, but she eagerly jumped in the van, excited for her next adventure. Peggy is a big bundle of fun. She loves to play and is very gentle when taking her toys or treats. Since picking her up from the pound, PAWS has had her spayed and she has had the 1st of her vaccinations. Peggy is now also on Synoquin for large breeds to help support her joints. She is currently in foster care and has been a very good girl, clean in the house and sleeps well at night. In fact, her foster carers have to wake her up in the morning as she's reluctant to get out of bed! Peggy likes her food and enjoys cuddles and gives kisses with those she knows. She travels really well and loves to go in a vehicle, her initial excitement soon turns to snoozing in the back. Since visiting the vet we have discovered that Peggy has mild hip dysplasia and will need to start a course of physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to help her build muscle to support her hips in the long term. We've purchased a really supportive bed from Tuffies Dog Beds at a cost of £125 to help provide extra comfort. Peggy is around 3 years old and is a mastiff type. She has oodles of love to give and would make someone with a secure garden a most loyal and wonderful companion. We will be looking for a home for Peggy with no young children, perhaps over 12's may be considered. Maybe another larger dog in the house, perhaps a steady neutered male would be ok. We can offer lots of help and support from our team of dog trainers and behaviour experts, to help anyone who may want to offer this lovely girl the life that she deserves. Peggy will leave for her new home Spayed, Microchipped, Vaccinated and treated for fleas and worms. Adoption fee £350

About Peggy

What life with Peggy looks like

Peggy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pennine Animal Welfare Society in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Peggy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Peggy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pennine Animal Welfare Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Peggy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Peggy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pennine Animal Welfare Society will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Peggy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Peggy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Pennine Animal Welfare Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know Peggy and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
