About Penny

Sweet Penny is on the lookout for her special human. This resilient six-year-old has overcome trauma, neglect, and even breast cancer. After finding her way to a local shelter, she received the care she needed, including surgeries and dental work. Now, Penny enjoys a fresh start and has blossomed into a happy little companion. Penny gets along well with other dogs and has had fun at doggy daycare, though she can show some jealousy. Her ideal situation involves a dedicated human—she quickly bonds, especially with women, and loves to curl up by their side at night. While she’s a bit wary of men, with kindness and patience, she might learn to trust in time. Penny is not suited for homes with children and prefers a calm environment. She has been around a cat but wasn’t very fond of sharing attention. Affectionate, cuddly, and playful, she’s incredibly smart and knows many tricks. With a weight of about 10 pounds, she adores her toys, never feeling like she has enough. If you're in search of a loving companion, Penny could be the perfect fit for you. What are you waiting for?
