About Penny
Dogs – Meet & Greet
Cats – Passed her cat test!
Kids – Yes
Meet Penny, a sweet, shy girl who's still figuring out that the world isn't such a scary place. She arrived as a stray, unsure of what to expect, but it's clear she wants to trust-she just needs someone to show her the way.
At first, Penny keeps her tail tucked, cautiously taking everything in. But speak to her gently, offer her a treat, and you'll start to see her soften. That tucked tail? It starts to wag, just a little at first. Give her a few more minutes, and she'll roll over, asking for chest scratches and belly rubs like you're old friends.
Leash walking seems new to Penny, and while she does well, sudden noises make her nervous. But here's the good news-she's super treat-motivated. Once she realized her handler had snacks, she kept checking in, looking back like, "Did you see how good I'm doing? Do I get another treat?" With time and consistency, she'll learn that walks are something to enjoy, not worry about.
Penny is the kind of dog who just needs a chance. She's timid but sweet, cautious but hopeful. If you're looking for a pup who will trust you more every day, wag her tail a little more each morning, and slowly but surely become your most loyal companion, Penny might be the one for you.
Come meet her-you might just be the person she's been waiting for!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
