My story

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

My husband & I found Penny (and her “sister” Luna) roaming alongside a roadway in Houston. The next day we brought them to the SPCA to have them checked out - they had worms & fleas so we had them treated but thankfully they were overall in good health. We found out that they were 3 mos. old. Penny & Luna were attached to myself and my husband so we kept them! Penny is about 7 yrs old now. She’s a super smart girl, she’s really energetic and protective of those close to her. She’s potty-trained, good around kids (we have a toddler and an infant) & great with other dogs. She’s well-trained & knows sit, sit pretty (begging position), lay down, “paw”(shake right paw), “other” (left paw shake), twirl, “go inside” (go inside doggie den). She’s really a great dog, but with our jobs, 2 young ones & no family in the area to help, it’s become difficult to give her everything she needs & deserves with outdoor exercise, variety of walking trails, playtime, etc.
