penny

Penny is the happiest little wiggle-bug, with the brightest smile and a joyful personality that can light up a room! Her goofy, excitable spirit and affectionate nature make her the kind of dog who brings cheer wherever she goes. Penny came to us as a stray, and although we sadly weren’t able to reunite her with her previous owner, she hasn’t let that dampen her spirit — she’s looking ahead to a bright future and a loving forever home. While Penny can definitely be a bit of a wild child at times, she also has some lovely manners to build on. She appears to be potty trained and keeps her space nice and clean. She knows sit, shake, and lay down, and she’s currently working on roll over! She’s a smart girl who enjoys learning and seems to thrive with mental stimulation and positive interaction. On leash, Penny can get excited and may need a little guidance, but with consistency and redirection she settles in nicely. She’s an active, busy girl who will do best with regular exercise and a positive outlet for her energy. Chew bones seem to be her favorite, though she’s happy to enjoy all kinds of toys. We do not know if Penny has lived with other animals before. During her time at the shelter, she has shown a friendly demeanor when seeing other dogs and has not been reactive. However, Penny does have several scars consistent with past dog fights, so we strongly encourage slow introductions with any resident pets. We’re always happy to arrange a dog meet-and-greet prior to adoption. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion with a huge smile and lots of love to give, Penny may be your girl!
