Penny came to the rescue after a rough start—she was found by the roadside seriously injured, likely from a dog fight and then being hit by a car. Despite her history, Penny lights up with even a little attention; a simple compliment will send her dashing in energetic circles before she settles back down by your side, eager for more praise. While she hasn’t had much social interaction or training, she’s a quick study and responds to patience and guidance. Penny is strong-willed, curious, and happiest sticking close to her person in whatever they’re doing. She’s house trained and walks fairly well on a leash, but she’s starting from scratch when it comes to life skills and socialization. She doesn’t get along with cats or most other dogs, and her background with children is unknown—so homes with small kids aren’t the best fit, though older children may be fine. If you have patience and are willing to start from square one, Penny is ready to learn and will reward you with genuine affection and companionship. She’s a Capricorn, which means she’s independent and persistent—traits you’ll notice right away. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
