About Penny

Meet Penny!

This sweet 2-year-old Chiweenie mix was found wandering the streets alone. After some time passed with no one claiming her, she was taken into foster care and then rescued just before her deadline. Penny is absolutely adorable and at 15 pounds, she's the perfect size for all kinds of adventures and cuddles. She has a fun, active personality and loves to be in the middle of everything. Penny enjoys playing with her dog friends, going for walks, and spending time with her people. She's always ready for a good time! Penny is very friendly with other dogs and would love a canine companion in her forever home, but she would also be happy to soak up all the attention herself. She has a happy, affectionate nature and enjoys making new friends. Penny is doing great with potty training and continues to make wonderful progress. She rides well in the car, enjoys walks, and would love a family that includes her in their everyday activities and adventures. After a day of fun, she's more than happy to curl up beside you for some well-earned snuggles.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • We review applications in the order they are received; however, our priority is placing each dog in the home that we feel is the best match for them.
  • We are a small, volunteer-run rescue, and since Penny is such a wonderful pup, it may take us some time to carefully review all of her applications. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Transporation

Penny is currently being fostered in Houston, Texas, but she is available for adoption in many locations across the country. Her adoption fee is $600, which includes the cost of transport. If you are seeing this post it means we have a transport location close to you.
