My story

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

🌟 Meet Penny: The Mini Rottie aka Big Puppy with a Bigger Heart! 🐾

If sunshine could wag its tail, it would look a lot like Penny. She’s the ultimate big puppy — all sweetness, wiggles, and wide-eyed wonder. Penny’s hobbies include: being your shadow, turning every couch cuddle into a full-contact sport, and trying to figure out how her very large body fits in small, cozy spaces (spoiler: it doesn’t, but she tries anyway).

Penny is still learning the ropes of the big, exciting world — things like “don’t jump up when excited” and “food doesn’t magically appear faster if you spin in circles.” She’s making amazing progress, though, and her eagerness to please makes her a total training rockstar. She’s doing great with crate time and potty training, and she’s quickly learning that good girls go outside (and get treats for it!).

💤 Sleeping arrangements: She’ll happily snooze in her crate overnight and chill there for a few hours if you’re nearby. Being left alone still makes her nervous, but she’s working on that — she just loves her people that much.

🐶 Dog friends: Penny adores other pups — big, small, scruffy, fancy — you name it. Her play style is “gentle chaos,” meaning she might bump into things (and friends) but it’s all love and no malice. She’s respectful of corrections and would do great with another confident dog buddy who doesn’t mind a little puppy enthusiasm.

🍗 Food: Penny LOOOOOVES food (all caps necessary). She’s polite about it, though — no food aggression here, just lots of joyful tail wags and hopeful eyes.

🚶‍♀️ Walkies: She’s learning the art of the leash. Big trucks and loud noises are a bit spooky, but with patience and snacks, she’s gaining confidence every day.

💖 Personality snapshot:

Expert cuddler and professional shadow 🩷

Silly “splooter” with world-class head tilts

Part-time gymnast (you should see her jumps!)

Full-time love bug who just wants to be close

Penny’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh every day and melt your heart every night. She’s got the sweetness of a teddy bear, the enthusiasm of a toddler on a sugar rush, and the soul of an old friend.

If you’re looking for a goofy, snuggly, endlessly loving companion — Penny’s your girl. 🌈🐾
