About Penny

Penny is a gorgeous black German Shepherd mix around five to six years old and weighing about 50 pounds. She loves being brushed and enjoys peaceful walks, but she can be startled by loud noises. For her comfort and safety, a secure harness and leash are a must during outdoor activities, and she would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard. She's both housebroken and crate-trained, making her a great companion for a caring owner. Penny is well-suited for a home with older children who understand and respect her space, as younger, louder kids might overwhelm her. She gets along well with dogs and is eager to find a gentle, patient human to love. Penny's adoption fee is $100. She's spayed, fully vaccinated, and will be microchipped before going to her new home. Ready to meet this lovely lady? Apply to adopt today!
