About Penny

Penny is a charming black shepherd mix, estimated to be around five to six years old and weighing approximately 50 pounds. She enjoys gentle grooming sessions and tranquil walks, making her a perfect companion for quieter activities. Loud noises can still catch her off guard, so a secure harness and leash are necessary when she’s outside. It’s best that she lives in a home with a securely fenced yard. Penny is housebroken and crate-trained, ready to fit into a loving household. She's looking for a kind and patient human who can appreciate her gentle demeanor. While she can get along with respectful older children, younger, more boisterous kids might overwhelm her. Penny's adoption fee is $100. She's spayed, fully vaccinated, and will be microchipped before going to her new home. If you're ready to welcome Penny into your life, complete an adoption questionnaire with the Humane Society of Scott County Indiana today. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
