Meet sweet Penny! This beautiful 112-year-old Lab/Great Pyrenees mix is just as lucky as a penny found heads up. She's up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, and ready to find the active home she deserves. Penny is an intelligent, inquisitive girl who loves being part of whatever her people are doing. She forms strong bonds with her humans and happily interrupts her adventures for pets, cuddles, and kisses. She truly loves people and never misses an opportunity to make a new friend. This lovable girl is fully house-trained and rings a bell at the door when she needs to go outside. She rides wonderfully in the car and is always ready to tag along for the next adventure. Penny knows basic commands like sit and stay, takes treats gently, and enjoys learning new things. Like many young dogs, however, her listening skills can disappear when something exciting catches her attention - especially rabbits, thanks to her strong prey drive. Penny absolutely adores other dogs. She currently lives with four Labrador Retrievers and loves, loves, loves to play. She gets excited whenever she spots potential canine friends and would thrive with another playful dog companion. Her play style can be rough and persistent; not mean, just enthusiastic - and she keeps coming back for more fun. Because Penny is still a young, energetic dog, she can accidentally knock people over when she's excited. Penny does have a prey drive and should not live with small animals. She also prefers not to share her food with other dogs and will guard her meals, so feeding separately is recommended. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, high-energy companion who will keep you active and make every day an adventure, Penny may be the lucky penny you've been searching for.
Ideal Home
Penny would do best in a home without frail individuals or very young children due to her size and enthusiastic play style. She needs a securely fenced yard or a very active, attentive family committed to supervising her outdoor time. A rural or country setting where she has room to stretch her legs and explore safely would be ideal. She is not crate-trained and has proven remarkably skilled at escaping from crates. She also cannot be tied out, as she chews through tethers and tie-outs. Penny should not live with small animals.
Ongoing Health
Penny is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed.
