About Penny

Penny is a 6-year-old terrier mix who has left a tough past behind. She weighs around 35 pounds and handles herself with a quiet, gentle confidence. Penny was rescued after spending her early life forgotten, chained outside, but she’s adapting well in her foster home. She’s nearly fully house-trained, walks nicely on leash, and picks up new things quickly—always looking to make her people smile. Penny is sweet with dog-savvy kids (about 8 and up) and thrives in a calm, patient home as she keeps building confidence. With other dogs, she’s curious but reserved, more nervous than aggressive, and needs slow introductions to new four-legged friends. At home, Penny is affectionate, quiet, and a pro at cuddling. She loves kisses, squeaky toys, and is just starting to discover how great treats can be. She’s looking for a forever home where she can soak up all the love as your loyal shadow.
