Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Little Penny is an amazing little girl who is waiting to find her perfect home. She is very scared and shy and will need a home that will take their time with her and allow her to blossom in her own time. She originally was an owner surrender to a local kill shelter and when the animal control officer was handling her she bit. Due to this bite she was scheduled to be put to sleep, but we felt that with the right home and an experienced, responsible dog owner she would make a loving companion. Because she is a special case, we will be accepting applications for her to find the best fit. She gets along well with other dogs that respect her space. Her adoption fee of $275 covers her medical care.
