Meet Penny! She's a 2-year-old, 62-pound spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix with a bright spirit, a big heart, 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 loves love, and she gives it back tenfold once she feels safe and understood. She's a sweet, sensitive soul who's eager to bond deeply with her forever person or people. Penny will be an incredibly rewarding and joyful companion with the right match.
Ideal Home
Penny would do best in a home with older teens or adults who understand dog behavior and can help her channel her energy in positive ways. She needs a confident, medium-to-large dog friend who is comfortable setting healthy boundaries, and a cat-free home is recommended due to prey-driven behavior observed outdoors. Her ideal home will provide structure, patience, and understanding, without expecting perfection right away.
Ongoing Health
Penny is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations.
Training & Support
Penny is fully house-trained and has done well being confined to a designated area when home alone, though she is still learning to be fully comfortable with separation. She has not been crate trained yet and prefers to be close to her people, sometimes whining or barking when separated. 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, which is managed with separation at mealtime and when giving treats. Consistent mental and physical outlets, along with calm, consistent care, will help her continue to blossom.
