Breed: Great Dane Age: ~5 Size: 120 lbs of love Energy: Ultra low — 2 zoomies a day, then nap city Good with: People (loves both men & women), but prefers to be the only pet Kids: Best with older children Special Needs: Blind, but fearless and totally trusting on walks
Penny is the ultimate companion — loyal, loving, and happiest right next to you (or on top of your feet). She’s crate trained, fully potty trained, and quiet as a mouse. She’s a pro at listening to voice cues like “step,” “stop,” and “tree” — and she will sniff you out no matter where you are.
Meal times are pure joy. Her happy food dance is everything.
Penny would thrive in a calm home with a single person, couple, or family with older children. Due to her blindness and her size, small kids may not be the best fit — she can’t see them, and they can be unpredictable. She’d prefer to be the only pet in the home. Though she originally lived with other dogs (including Danes), she quickly decided she’d rather not share her space or her humans. She doesn’t react to dogs on leash, though, so walks are easy-peasy.
Penny loves her people so much she gets anxious when left alone — especially in a room away from you. She’s been known to try to chew her way back to your side (door knobs beware). But since moving her crate to the living room? She’s been a total angel.
Penny is ready to be your shadow, your snuggle buddy, your everything.
Adopt her and never go to the bathroom alone again. Adoption application: www.this-is-houston.org/adopt/adopt-application

ThisIsHouston is a rescue dedicated to helping those who cannot ask for help!
The inundation of graphic dog posts and images on social media seems to have rendered a lot of people helpless. The bystander effect has grabbed a hold of our city and it isn’t loosening its grip. Most people are not aware of the stray overpopulation problem going on in this city. The others don’t help because somebody else will. Well, we are ‘somebody else’. We have no super powers. We have no magic formula or secret that gives us the ability to do what we do. We are just an example of what can be done when people come together for a common cause and leave egos at the door. Why do we do this? Because we choose to. Because we are tired of dogs suffering needlessly. And because we refuse to live in a world where there is a choice not to help.
