About Penny

Penny is as cute as they come! This affectionate Australian Cattle Dog mix is smart and eager to make a great companion for anyone willing to spend time with her. She knows some basic commands and is ready to show them off for a tasty treat. Penny was once paired with another dog but they've decided it's better to part ways. She remains a caring friend from across the kennel. Penny prefers an active lifestyle and gets bored easily, so she thrives when she’s engaged physically and mentally. While she may need some training once she's adopted, her breed typically learns quickly. She can escape a 7-foot fence in no time, so a secure yard and supervision are essential in her new home. The staff has even caught her making attempts! Penny is already doing her business outside, which suggests she may be house trained. Other than needing a little guidance with her energy, she’s quite close to perfect. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
