Meet Peggy
Peggy - A Gentle Soul
Peggy went into foster in East Sussex on 24th November 2025.
When Peggy first arrived, she quietly curled up in a corner of the kitchen, barely moving for the first couple of days. It may well have been the first soft bed she’d ever known. On day three, she bravely ventured into the living room, and from that moment on she has blossomed more each day.
Peggy is a beautifully behaved young lady with the most loving, gentle nature. She is clean in the house, doesn’t seem to shed much, and has not barked once. She enjoys her food enormously (expect joyful post-meal zoomies!) and balances her calm, affectionate temperament with playful moments. She adores her toys—though squeaky ones still surprise her a little.
Like many young dogs, Peggy explores the world with her mouth. She hasn’t caused any damage, but she will happily nibble fingers, toes, and elbows if given the chance. She’s clever, eager, and absolutely the right age to benefit from kind, reward-based training.
After a week in foster, Peggy went on her very first walk and is now walking nicely on a lead, growing more confident and excited with every outing. She recently celebrated two weeks in the UK with a trip to the groomers—where the once-grey fur revealed itself to be beautifully white and fluffy. She needed a little encouragement to hop into the van (chicken treats helped!), but she was calm and compliant throughout.
Peggy is friendly and curious with all visitors and is a joy to have in the home. She has not been cat tested.
Peggy stands approximately 24 inches (62 cm) to the shoulder and has a heart even bigger than she is.
This special girl has endured more than any young dog should, yet she remains gentle, trusting, and full of love. Peggy is now ready for a forever home where she will be cherished, protected, and shown just how wonderful life can be.
Could you be the one to give Peggy the happy ending she so deeply deserves? 🐾💞
Her Story
FAR was first contacted by a lady who was visiting Romania and came across Peggy living on the streets. Around Peggy’s neck was a heavy chain, embedded so tightly that it had cut nearly an inch deep into her throat and neck. She was in pain, frightened, and impossible to approach, and the lady knew she desperately needed help.
Thankfully, Peggy was in an area where we work. We immediately contacted our vet, who sent out a colleague to help. Because Peggy was so fearful and could not be handled safely, she had to be humanely darted so she could receive the urgent care she needed.
Once brought to the clinic, the chain was carefully removed and her wound thoroughly cleaned and treated. What Peggy had endured was severe, and it was clear that returning her to the streets was not an option. From that moment on, Peggy remained under our where she could finally begin to heal — both physically and emotionally.
Peggy’s story is a powerful reminder of why rescue work matters. From unimaginable cruelty to safety, care, and compassion, she was given the chance she so desperately deserved. 💕
