About Penny

Penny is a 2-year-old Staffordshire mix with a lot to offer the right home. Petite but muscular, she brings equal parts energy and affection. After a good game outside, she loves nothing more than curling up on the couch next to you. Her amber eyes and warm personality quickly win people over. She’s well-versed in leash walking and always ready to give kisses. Penny has lived comfortably in a foster home and picked up good house habits, though she may need a little patience adjusting at first. She gets along with kids when properly introduced, but she’s picky about her canine companions and will do best as the only dog or with someone able to handle careful, structured intros with others. Penny’s ideal adopter is looking for an active, loyal friend who fits in a compact package, and who understands her need for lots of movement and engagement. Her breed tends to be brave, eager-to-please, and deeply loyal—Penny lives up to all of it. Penny is spayed, vaccinated, house trained, and currently in Hudson, NY.
