Penny

**ADOPTION PENDING**Penny was surrendered to the shelter by her owner because she would get "out" when the owner's grandchildren would come to visit. A situation that could have been easily remedied, but instead the owner chose a different route. Perhaps the easy way out, but nevertheless, abandoning seniors because they are old and evidently too much trouble is a sad reality that we see all the time. The plight that seniors face when abandoned in the cold confines of a dog pound or adrift city streets, so many times ignored, and unadopted are left to die. When our beloved seniors are abandoned, we don’t think of them as old, crippled, or too much trouble. We believe that every dog has a “life well worth living” and deserves to sleep in a warm soft bed, know love and compassion which is the right of every animal and in return, we get a lifelong lesson from each one of them. The joy that they bring us is immeasurable. Penny had her teeth cleaned today, and the vet stated that Penny is not 13 years old as the shelter estimated. Penny's age has been revised between 8-9 years old. We concur, as Penny acts very much like a younger dog. Penny has a lot of love to give. It was obvious that she wasn’t cared for very well and was riddled with fleas. This once frightened and confused little girl gets along great with her three foster siblings and has become her foster mom’s little shadow. She loves to take naps on the back of the sofa and has no problem jumping up to her favorite spot. She does great on a leash and loves to go for walks. Penny will have her very much needed beauty makeover this week and pictures will follow. She weighs 16 pounds, and though she exhibits some hearing loss, that hasn’t stopped her from reveling in her new environment that makes her feel secure and loved.

Will you open your heart and home to this beautiful sweet senior girl? Penny wants nothing more but the chance to enjoy the rest of her life in a home where she will be loved.

Our rescues are placed on PetFinder and our website at www.WestieRescueOC.com. All of our rescues are fostered in private homes throughout California where they receive medical care and rehabilitation. Not all of our rescues are posted until they are ready for adoption as all rescues are evaluated by their foster home over a 3 - 4 week period (sometimes longer). When we place a rescue, we try to do everything we can to make this transition their very last.

If you are unable to adopt, please consider a donation to WROC .
