About Penn

Meet Penn, a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing about 48 pounds. This wonderful medium-sized boy longs for a person to call his own. Currently, Penn is at a boarding facility after his foster home fell through, which is particularly tough for a dog that thrives on human companionship. Penn is all about people. He enjoys being by your side, going for car rides, taking walks, and playing ball. Simply hanging out with his person makes him happiest. When you give Penn your attention, he’ll give you his whole heart in return. It’s important to note that Penn needs to be the only dog in the home. He cannot live with other dogs, but if you’re looking for a loyal companion just for you, Penn is ready to be that dog. He has plenty of love and personality to fill your space. What Penn needs now is not another kennel but a true home. He needs someone to look at him and say, “You’re coming home with me.” If you’re seeking a walking buddy, a ball-playing partner, or a constant companion, Penn could be the perfect match for you. Don’t let boarding be his forever; come meet him and find out how he can fill your life with joy.
