About Penny

Meet Penny, a vibrant 2-year-old, 62-pound spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix with a bright spirit and a lot of love to offer. Currently in a foster home in Mooresville, NC, she’s eager to find her forever family and can be transported out of state once approved. Penny is affectionate, outgoing, and thrives in an active environment. She loves human company and seeks out cuddles as much as she enjoys adventures. Living with other dogs, she has a playful nature but can be a bit too exuberant for smaller or more timid pets, so she does best with confident medium to large dogs that set boundaries well. While Penny hasn’t been directly tested with cats, her outdoor prey drive suggests a cat-free home is best. She’s been around children but her herding instincts might make her more suitable for homes with older teens or adults who can guide her energy positively. Fully house-trained, Penny has learned to be confined to a designated area when home alone, though she prefers to be close to her people. She’s not yet crate trained and may whine or bark when separated, a testament to her bond with her humans. She enjoys leash walks, settling in with gentle guidance. Penny needs someone enthusiastic about providing regular walks or hikes to keep her mentally and physically stimulated. Despite her playful spirit, Penny has possibly faced past trauma, showing signs of needing calm reassurance and understanding. Her ideal home will be structured and patient, allowing her the time to feel secure. Once comfortable, she’ll blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion who loves to snuggle and provides endless cuddles. If you're looking for a smart and slightly goofy sidekick eager for love and understanding, Penny might be the perfect match for you. Give this sweet girl the chance she deserves!
