Meet the incredible Penny! 🌟 This gorgeous pure Golden Retriever, over 4 years old, is ready to steal the spotlight—and your heart! 💖 She’s been living at GRRAND since early 2022, which means this lovely lady has been waiting for her forever home for nearly 1,000 days! That’s like being at a never-ending holiday party—jolly, but a bit soul-crushing too! Now, don’t let her grouchy moments fool you; Penny has her reasons! If you've ever tried to take a stick from her, you know you’re entering a negotiation zone! 😂 Thankfully, her clever kennel buddies know she can be tricked into giving up her precious toys for tasty treats. Don’t tell her secret; it's way too cute! Oh, and guess what? The kennel team is eager to teach you the ways of the stick trade! Penny is living her best life at the kennel, where she enjoys cozy meals, a warm bed, and the joy of outside play three times a day! 🌳 Some days, she gets the royal treatment with trips to the park or even Starbucks! ☕️ And let’s not forget her beloved office time, filled with cuddles, petting, and mental stimulation games! Her ideal day? It’s lounging around while Hallmark movies play in the background—pajama style! 📺💕 However, her gentle heart longs for more. Penny’s kennel manager calls her a bit 'institutionalized', and she deserves to enjoy life in a loving home with people who cherish her. While she’s no Buddy the Elf, her heart shines just as brightly! 🌟 This holiday season, let’s make her Christmas wish come true by giving her the loving forever home she deserves! Penny is a sweet soul who needs a very specific family. She's social, tail-wagging, and super friendly once she knows you, but let’s be honest, she’s a bit sensitive too. Penny has resource guarding tendencies which means she thrives best in a home with experienced dog-savvy humans who understand her communication style. She may be wary at first, but loyalty is her middle name! 🐾💘 Penny requires a home free from children and other pets, as she can be a bit protective of her favorite things. The kennel team is ready to support her transition with visits that help build her bonds and train her new family in recognizing her triggers. After all, she just needs love, patience, and plenty of playtime! 🎾 Thinking you’re the right fit for Penny? If you’re ready to bring this beautiful girl into your life, please, apply to adopt her through the Buddy App. Only the best of families need apply, and Penny is waiting to find the love of her life! 🥰🐶💖
