Why I need a new home

My story

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


We found Penny a few years ago hiding under our car, our neighbors had abandoned her. She's been a good little dog but we have a new baby in the family and unfortunately we think it's best if we re-home her. She is to the best of our knowledge half pitbull and half Weiner dog. She barks when people come to the door but once she sees someone check it out she'll stop and she doesn't bite new people. She's a bit nervous, we think because of her previous owners, and seems to be afraid of baseball caps for some reason. She needs to be slowly introduced to new animals and people, but once she is she's fine. She's kennel trained and will sleep in it at night and go to it if you tell her, "go to bed" I don't think she was treated well by her last family and it's made her a bit unpredictable, which is fine for adults because she's so small, but we worry about the baby now that she can confidentiality walk. She's been great with other kids who are old enough to be gentle.
