Meet Penny, a charming 2-year-old, 62-pound spayed female Shepherd/Husky mix! Penny is a bright and spirited girl with a heart full of love to give. She was a bit shy at first, but with a little encouragement, her affectionate and outgoing personality shines through. Penny loves to be active and engaged, and she's always looking for her next adventure or a cozy cuddle session with her favorite people.
Ideal Home
Penny would thrive in an active home where she can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. She's doing well with confident, medium-to-large dogs who can match her playful energy and help her practice her social skills. Due to her prey-driven behavior towards cats outdoors, a cat-free home is recommended. Given her exuberance and herding instincts, Penny would do best in a home with older teens or adults who understand dog behavior and can help her channel her energy positively.
Ongoing Health
Penny is a healthy girl who is spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations.
Training & Support
Penny is fully house-trained and is learning to be comfortable when home alone. While she isn't crate-trained, she prefers to be close to her people and may whine or bark when separated, a testament to her strong bond with her humans. She has a tendency to chew on dog beds when bored, so keeping her favorite toys and activities accessible will be key. Penny is a quick learner and eager to please, especially when it comes to leash walks and adventures. She has some protective tendencies around high-value items like food and toys with other dogs, but with clear boundaries and respectful management, she's made great progress. Penny has likely experienced past trauma and can flinch easily, requiring reassurance and calm, consistent care. Patience and understanding will help her blossom into a confident companion.
