About Penny

Meet Penny, a sweet baby girl who was discovered with her brothers and mom in a rundown house in Mississippi, abandoned and alone. Thankfully, a good Samaritan rescued them and brought them to WAGS. With her siblings, Penny enjoys running, playing, and cuddling together for naps. Now vaccinated and spayed, she’s ready to travel to the northeast to find her forever family. Penny has a gentle and playful personality, and her submissive nature makes her a lovely companion. She gets along well with other dogs and children, making her an excellent addition to a loving home. Given that she and her brothers have faced some challenges with larger dogs, Penny would thrive in a nurturing environment where she can continue to feel safe and loved. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
