Penny is an energetic and enthusiastic young dog. She is approximately 12 – 18 months old and is quite a large dog. She is Retriever x Lurcher.
She is quite well behaved but as we have already mentioned she is full of energy and can be quite boisterous.
Penny will need an active home where she can use up her energy and also be trained to reach her full potential; we think she would a fantastic at agility or scent work.
She is fine with other dogs but as far as we are aware has never encountered cats. We feel she would be more suited to a household with older children who won’t be overwhelmed by her energy.
Penny is fine of the happiest dogs we have ever had come into our care, she loves everyone she meets and just to run and play.
If you would like to apply to adopt Penny please first read our adoption policy which can be found on this website. A perfect match form can be downloaded Here and returned via email to: nicki@rspca-tameside-glossop.org.uk
An adoption fee applies.

Good to know…
The branch will not rehome dogs to households where other resident dogs have not been neutered or are not up to date with vaccinations unless there are veterinary reasons for this.
We will not rehome RSPCA dogs as guard dogs, thieves these days won’t hesitate to hurt a dog – please get a good burglar alarm instead.
We will not allow our dogs to go to homes where they will live outside, as there is nothing so upsetting than to see a dog without human interaction, spending their days on the end of a chain or in a lonely kennel.
Unfortunately the branch cannot accept Bull breeds and their crosses directly from members of the public, only via RSPCA inspectors.
