About Penny

Penny is a 2-year-old, 62-pound spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix with a bright spirit and lots of affection to share. Currently in a foster home in Mooresville, NC, she can transport out of state once an approved adopter steps forward. This fun-loving girl thrives on activity and companionship. Penny is curious, social, and always up for cuddles or her next adventure. She enjoys the company of medium-to-large dogs that match her playful energy, although she can be a bit overwhelming for smaller or more timid dogs. A cat-free home is recommended since she has shown prey-driven behavior toward cats outdoors. Penny has been around older children and should ideally be in a home with teens or adults who understand dog behavior. Full of life, Penny is house-trained and does her best when given structure. While she prefers close human contact and may whine when separated, she shows great potential for independence with training. Leash walks are a favorite for Penny, who settles in with guidance. This affectionate girl seeks a partner who enjoys outdoor activities and can provide the mental and physical stimulation she craves. Penny can be protective around high-value items, so management is key, but she's making great strides in her foster home. Penny truly is a sweet, sensitive soul looking for a patient and loving family to help her flourish. Filled with love and playfulness, she will be a devoted companion to the right person. If you're looking for a spirited sidekick who just wants to be understood, Penny might be the one for you. Give her the loving home she's been waiting for!
