Meet Penny, a 2-year-old, 62-pound spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix with a bright spirit and a whole lot of love to give! Penny is a fun-loving, affectionate, and outgoing girl who thrives in an environment where she can stay active, engaged, and close to her people. She's curious, social, and always on the lookout for her next adventure or someone to cuddle. Penny is incredibly affectionate and emotionally tuned into her people. She will happily snuggle beside you and gaze up at you with her expressive, soulful eyes. She loves love, and she gives it back tenfold once she feels safe and understood. Penny is a sweet, sensitive soul who's eager to bond deeply with her forever person or people.
Ideal Home
Penny would do best in a home with confident, medium-to-large dogs who are comfortable setting healthy boundaries. She would thrive in a home with older teens or adults who understand dog behavior and can help her channel her energy in positive ways. A cat-free home is recommended due to her prey-driven behavior outdoors. Penny's ideal home will provide structure, patience, and understanding, and that doesn't expect her to be perfect right away.
Ongoing Health
Penny is spayed and up-to-date on all her vaccinations.
Training & Support
Penny is fully house-trained. She is still learning to be fully comfortable with separation and can whine or bark when separated. She hasn't been crate trained yet and prefers to be close to her people. She can be trusted loose in the house when items are picked up and food is put away, but she has a soft spot for chewing on dog beds when bored. Penny can come on a little strong during play, especially with smaller or more timid dogs. She can be protective of her space and high-value items like food or toys around other dogs, so her foster separates her at mealtime and when giving treats. These are manageable behaviors that respond well to clear boundaries and respectful management. Penny flinches easily and shows signs of needing reassurance and calm, consistent care.
