About Penny Lane

Penny Lane is about three years old and tips the scales at around 12 pounds. Her best guess is she’s a Doxie/Terrier mix, but one thing’s for sure—she’s pure lovebug. Penny Lane thrives on cuddling up close and would spend all night curled by your side if you let her. She’s playful with other dogs and would be happiest with a canine sibling or getting adopted alongside her friend Foxy. This little runner listens well but needs a securely fenced yard. Penny Lane’s been through a lot after months as a stray, and she can’t quite shake the urge to finish everyone else’s food. Consistency helps her settle, and she quickly bonds once she trusts you. Loud fireworks terrify her, so she’ll need patience and understanding during noisy nights. Penny Lane is crate and paper trained, working on her full housebreaking, and won’t pass up a treat—she’ll even sit up pretty for it. Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives, she’s looking for a home where she’s front and center. She will only be placed with adopters committed to her safety and routine, and a secure fence is non-negotiable. Click apply to start the adoption process.
