About Penny

Penny is a delightful senior Yellow Labrador Retriever, overflowing with personality. She thrives as the only pet in the house, embracing the attention she deserves.

Initially shy around men, she warms up and forms trusting bonds with a bit of patience. Penny enjoys taking long walks but is also quite content lounging at home in a cozy environment. Having always had a fenced yard, it’s unclear how she would adjust to a different setup. If you're looking for companionship in a calm home, Penny could be your perfect match. Plus, her foster human assures that if things don't work out, she can return with no questions asked. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
