About Penny

Penny is a delightful 16-week-old mixed breed puppy, radiating charm and endless energy. She has a friendly disposition and loves playtime with both her dog pals and humans alike. Whether she's napping, munching, or sneakily stealing kisses, Penny brings joy wherever she goes. With a small size prediction, she’s perfect for those looking for a compact companion. She’s been spayed, vaccinated, and treated for intestinal parasites, and is on flea and tick prevention, making her ready for her new life. While occasional parasite treatments may be necessary, this is common for puppies. If you adopt Penny and you're in Massachusetts, she will need to undergo a mandatory 48-hour quarantine at a designated facility, with an additional fee applicable at pickup. Penny is eager to meet her forever family, and she tends to get along with cats, other dogs, and children. This little bundle of joy is waiting to bring love into your home. What are you waiting for?
