Adopt Penny

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

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. Home requirements: Penny is hoping to find her forever home alongside her best friend, Cash. These two share a wonderful bond and are looking for a loving family who can welcome them both. Penny is a gentle, sweet-natured girl who really blossoms in a calm to moderately active home. She adores spending time with people she knows and trusts, and her soft, sensitive nature makes her a truly rewarding companion. A private garden would give Penny and Cash the perfect space to relax, play, and enjoy life together. Penny could live in a home with older, secondary‑school–aged children.
