About Penny

Meet Penny! This lively 1-year-old female Border Collie mix is all about affection and play. Penny thrives on interaction with her people, adores fetch, enjoys splashing around in water, and loves going for car rides. Treats are definitely her weakness! Penny is house and crate trained and has received her rabies vaccination. She does best in a home with older children and is selective about her dog friends; she can be dominant and isn't recommended for homes with small dogs. While she’s leash trained, she tends to pull when excited, so be ready for a little energy during walks. Important to note, Penny does guard her food, so she should be fed separately from other animals. An active family that can provide exercise, enrichment, and ongoing training would be ideal for her. If you’re looking for a playful and dedicated companion, Penny is ready to bring joy into your life. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
