About Penny

Meet Penny, a beautiful Labrador Retriever weighing about 56 pounds. Born on September 30, 2025, Penny found herself at the Hesperia shelter after she decided to help herself to a neighbor’s cat food. This girl certainly knows how to hunt for snacks! Penny is affectionate and active, and she thrives on being close to her people. She’s convinced she belongs in your lap while also enjoying long runs and adventurous outings. Having previously lived with children and other dogs, she could be a fantastic addition to a loving family. Just a heads up—she does chase cats, so a home without them would be ideal. Eager to leave shelter life behind, Penny longs for a forever family who will cherish her as much as she will cherish them. Is Penny the companion you've been looking for?
