About Penny

Penny is a lovable 5-year-old Cavapoo looking for a home where she can thrive and continue to build on her progress. Having come to us with some behavioral challenges, including reactivity towards dogs and resource guarding, she has shown significant improvement during her time in foster care. Thanks to consistent training, Penny has become a sweet and affectionate companion who just needs the right structure and support to keep flourishing. Penny enjoys snuggling with her people but also values her alone time. She gets along well with other dogs, yet she prefers to keep to herself rather than engage in play. Crate trained and equipped with four professional on-leash training sessions, she’s set to help her new family continue the good work that has allowed her to thrive. Best suited for a family committed to consistency in her routine, Penny is eager to find the right match. If you're searching for a gentle companion who has worked hard to overcome her challenges, Penny may be the one for you. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
