About Penny

Penny is a charming young lab who started her journey as a stray with her two brothers. While her siblings were adopted quickly, Penny waited, giving her ample time to develop a thoughtful resilience. She spent time in a foster home with calm, experienced cats and handled the transition well. Penny lost one eye to a previous injury, but that hasn't slowed her down. She gets around with confidence and keeps up her energy on daily walks and backyard playtime. Penny is great with other dogs and would do best with a confident canine friend. Children over twelve are an ideal match, as she’s still a bit wary in unfamiliar situations and needs kids who understand boundaries. She’s house trained, vaccinated, and spayed. If you're looking for a companion who’s already overcome a lot with quiet determination, Penny’s waiting in San Diego for her next chapter. Adoption day would fall close to Valentine's Day, making her an Aquarius—stubborn, quirky, and full of heart. Let her show you just how much joy a resilient pup can bring. What are you waiting for?
