About Penny

Meet Penny, a spirited 2-year-old spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix weighing 62 pounds. Currently in a foster home in Mooresville, NC, she’s ready to fill your life with fun and affection. Penny thrives in an active environment and loves outdoor adventures, so if you enjoy long walks, hikes, or runs, she’ll be the perfect companion. Penny is an outgoing, playful dog who enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those who can match her size and energy. She’s still learning some social skills, so she may be a bit too enthusiastic with smaller or shyer dogs. A cat-free home is recommended since she has shown signs of prey drive outdoors. While she’s been around toddlers and older kids, her high energy means a home with older teens or adults who understand dog behavior is best. Fully house-trained, Penny has adjusted well to being confined when home alone but still needs some time to get comfortable with being left alone. She can be a bit vocal if she feels the need for companionship. It’s important to note, though, that she might chew on dog beds if she's bored. Her affectionate nature shines through when she snuggles beside you or rests her head on your lap—all she wants is to feel safe and loved. Penny has likely faced some past challenges, so she needs a patient and structured home that can understand and support her as she continues to grow into the loyal companion she’s meant to be. Although she can be protective over her resources, clear boundaries and training have helped her make strides in foster care. If you’re ready to provide a loving, supportive environment for a smart, cuddly dog who just wants to be cared for, Penny might be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
