About Penny

Meet Penny, a spirited almost five-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix living in Asheville, NC. She’s a bundle of joy wrapped in a beautiful brown brindle coat with white accents, radiating enthusiasm and affection. Penny weighs about 41 pounds and embraces her role as the ultimate companion, happily following her family from room to room and providing cozy cuddles after a day filled with play. Penny loves to jump and run, making walks an exciting adventure. After expending some energy, she finds contentment lounging nearby, showcasing both her playful side and her affectionate nature. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. Penny knows commands like sit, stay, down, and kennel, and she enjoys car rides almost as much as being with her favorite humans. To thrive, Penny needs ample exercise and attention. She excels at meeting new friends but would do best with older children who can handle her exuberant greetings. Past incidents with other dogs indicate she should be the only dog in her new home, where thoughtful supervision will help her adjust smoothly. Penny’s compatibility with cats is still untested. An active single person or couple with a fenced yard would be ideal for Penny. In return, she will provide unwavering loyalty and countless happy moments filled with tail wags. Could she be the loyal companion you’ve been looking for? Ready to meet this sweet girl? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
