About Penny

Meet Penny, an affectionate and outgoing 2-year-old spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix with a vibrant personality. Weighing in at 62 pounds, Penny is currently in a foster home in Mooresville, NC but can be transported out of state once an approved adopter is found. Penny thrives in an active environment where she can engage with her people and explore. She's a playful, curious dog who enjoys the company of larger canine friends, though she can be a bit exuberant in her play, especially around smaller or more timid dogs. While she hasn't directly interacted with cats, her outdoor prey drive suggests a cat-free home is best. Previously exposed to toddlers and older kids, Penny's high energy makes her more suitable for families with teens or adults who can help manage her enthusiasm. She is fully house-trained and comfortable being confined for short periods, though she prefers being close to her humans. A strong bond is important for her, and she may whine or bark when left alone, but she’s becoming more adaptable. Walks are one of her favorite activities, and she shines brightest when given ample opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. Penny is loving and craves affection, often snuggling beside her humans and enjoying calm interactions. Her past experiences have left her needing patience and reassurance, so a nurturing environment is essential for her to thrive. Although she can be protective over food and toys, she is learning to establish healthy boundaries with guidance. Penny is ready to become a loyal companion for the right adopter. If you’re looking for a playful and affectionate dog that will thrive on love and structure, Penny may just be your perfect match. Start your journey together! Apply now.
