My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Penny! I'm about a year and 1/2 old and 10 lbs. I am most likely a terrier mix but I have the coloring of a mini Portuguese Podengo. When I was first taken from the shelter I was scared of everything and very anxious but since being in my foster home, I've learned to relax and play! I love to go for walks and to snuggle on laps. I'm house broken and super smart. I learn quick when you have treats for me. I am good with other dogs who don't bother me too much, and I'm ok with cats. When I'm in a comfortable environment, I'm very friendly but I'm still very sensitive so I need an owner who understands this and is willing to work with me. I will need some space and time to adjust to my new environment. New situations and transitions make me nervous. I like routines. A quiet home with with patience and no children is best for me. I love being outside and playing but I also love my quiet time indoors napping. I'm excited to meet you!

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
