About Penny

Penny is a stunning black German Shepherd mix who is about five to six years old and weighs around 50 pounds. She's a wonderful companion who loves quiet walks and enjoys a gentle brushing. Loud noises can still overwhelm her, so she needs a secure harness and leash when outdoors, along with a home featuring a securely fenced yard. Penny is both housebroken and crate-trained, making her a great addition to any household. She would thrive in a home with older, respectful children but might find overly active and loud young ones a bit much. Being spayed, fully vaccinated, and due for a microchip before adoption, Penny is ready to find a kind and patient human to call her own. If you're interested in giving Penny a loving home, complete an adoption questionnaire at the rescue's website. This sweet girl is currently located in Scottsburg, Indiana. What are you waiting for?
