About Penelope

Meet Penelope, or "Penny" for short, a beautiful merle Great Dane with a personality as big as her heart. This affectionate girl thrives around children, loving nothing more than to snuggle and greet them with gentle enthusiasm. She's a true social butterfly, always eager to share her warmth and connection with her human friends. While Penny is incredibly sweet, she does need a patient and experienced owner to help her navigate a few quirks. She's learning to share her space with other large dogs, but due to her strong prey drive, she would do best in a home without small pets like cats or tiny dogs. Penny currently suffers from some stiffness in her back legs, so she prefers a relaxed lifestyle where she can be your devoted companion without the need for high-energy activities. Having recently completed her treatment for kennel cough, this spayed girl is ready for a loving home. If you have room in your heart and your couch for a loyal companion like Penny, reach out to Goodest Dog Rescue today and see if you're the right match for this sweet girl. What are you waiting for?
