About Penny

Meet Penny, a 2-year-old, 62-pound spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix filled with love and adventure. Currently in a foster home in Mooresville, NC, Penny can be transported out of state once an approved adopter is found. Penny thrives on activity and companionship. She enjoys the company of medium to large dogs who can match her playful spirit, though she can be a bit exuberant around smaller or timid canines. While she hasn’t lived with cats, her prey drive suggests a cat-free home is best for her. Though Penny has spent time around children, her herding instincts might steer her towards a household with older teens or adults who can guide her. This affectionate girl is fully house-trained and tends to prefer proximity to her humans. Penny is still adapting to being alone and may express her desire for connection by whining or barking. Leash walks are her favorite pastime, and she gets excited but settles down with gentle guidance. She’s eager to explore the outdoors, whether through walks, hikes, or simply sniffing about. Penny is emotionally perceptive, providing heartfelt companionship once she trusts you. She has experienced trauma in the past, so a home that offers structure, patience, and understanding is essential for her to thrive. She's a protective soul but responds well to clear boundaries. With support and encouragement, Penny will transform into a loyal companion who brings joy to your life. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and slightly goofy friend, Penny could be the perfect match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
