About Penny

Meet Penny, a sweet 18-month-old Dachshund in search of her forever home. This tiny girl weighs just 10 pounds and brings a big need for love, patience, and a calm environment. Previously reserved and anxious, Penny was surrendered when her previous owner faced housing restrictions. Having spent much of her time indoors, she’ll need some guidance as she transitions to being a regular household dog and learns housebreaking and leash skills. Penny treasures quiet moments beside her person. She's not fond of busy spaces or chaos; rather, she thrives when curled up in your lap or next to you on the couch. Ideally, she would do best in a home with one or two people who can provide the focused attention she desires. Building her confidence may take some time, and she needs someone who understands this journey. While Penny may not be the life of the party, there's a strong chance she could be the perfect companion for someone seeking a devoted little friend. Are you ready for a lifetime of cuddles with this loving pup? Click apply to start the adoption process.
