Meet Penny, a vibrant 2-year-old spayed female Shepherd and Husky mix, weighing in at about 62 pounds. Currently in a foster home in Mooresville, NC, she is ready to find her forever home. Penny’s energy and love make her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys staying active. This playful girl thrives when she's engaged. She enjoys the company of other dogs and currently lives with several canine friends. Penny does best with medium-to-large dogs who can handle her exuberance. While she hasn’t been tested with cats indoors, she has shown a prey-driven behavior outdoors, so a cat-free home is advised. While she’s been around children, older teens or adults who understand dog behavior would be ideal due to her playful energy and herding instincts. Penny is fully house-trained, though she's still adjusting to being alone. She has a preference for staying close to her humans, often showing signs of longing to be next to you. Leash walks are among her favorite activities, and she’s eager to join in on hikes, runs, and adventures. Penny is smart and willing to learn, needing someone who can balance energy with patience to help her settle into a routine. Penny's affectionate nature makes her a cuddly companion. Once she feels safe, she gives love back tenfold. However, she’s likely faced some trauma and requires a stable, understanding environment to help her regain confidence. While she can be protective over food and toys around other dogs, these behaviors respond well to training and proper management. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion who needs a little understanding, Penny might just be your perfect match. Ready to make Penny a part of your life?
