Jenny is a very pretty 11-12 year old Crossbreed with a fair bit of Whippet or Greyhound in the mix, but she’s only 17″ high. She came into Oldies Club care because of the ill-health of her owner and is now in an Oldies Club foster home in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, waiting for someone to offer her a permanent home.
Settled straight away: Jenny arrived, walked in, sat down and the 3 dogs in her foster home accepted her straight away. She is happy to be left with her new friends for a few hours; she stares at the window, watching her fosterers leave, but she soon settles down.
Excellent with dogs and children: Jenny is great with other dogs and has shown no aggression at all. She has previously lived on her own but is happy to be with dogs now and so should be fine to live with dogs in her new home. Jenny is fine with visiting 8 year old children and is quite happy to be cuddled by them, but she is of an age where she wouldn’t want to be pestered. Jenny has chased a cat and so probably shouldn’t live with cats.
Aren’t I beautiful?
Out and about: Jenny really enjoys a walk and is always up for it. She is reasonably good on lead but if something gets her attention, she can pull very strongly. Her recall is OK. Jenny is excellent in the car and really enjoys a trip out.
Jenny’s favourite pastimes: Finding a very comfortable place to sleep; Having a cuddle!
Surely you don’t want to watch TV – cuddle me instead!
Jenny’s perfect home: Almost any home should suit Jenny. She loves people and likes to know where everyone is. She likes to meet and greet… in fact, the more people to cuddle, the better!
Health notes: Jenny is microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and flea-treated. We don’t know for sure whether she is spayed – the vet has advised to wait to see if she has a season and if so arrange a spay. If Jenny is rehomed and then comes into season, her adopters will be required to have her spayed and the Oldies Club will pay. Her vet check showed nothing untoward. The vet inspected 2 lumps and advised to keep an eye on them. Further investigation will only be necessary if the lumps grow bigger quickly.
Four adjectives that sum up Jenny: Affectionate; Sweet-natured; Regal; Laid back.
Foster carers’ summary: We know little of Jenny’s history, but during our foster period we have found her to be a truly delightful dog. Her parentage is unknown, but everyone agrees she has a lot of greyhound in her; she has a lot of sighthound traits but in a small package of just 17″ high. She would be a good guard dog as she has a big booming bark, but the fact that she settled so quickly into this house and the fact that all 3 of our dogs accepted her so quickly is testament to her sweet, calm nature.
Doesn’t Jenny sound fantastic!

She can be rehomed anywhere in the UK, subject to a satisfactory home visit, but note that you will be required to travel to the foster home to meet her.
