My personality

My story

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

Penny came to the shelter as a stray, but it didn’t take long for her to win over the hearts of staff and volunteers alike. She is incredibly sweet, friendly, and affectionate. Penny loves getting pets, cuddling on the couch, and spending time close to her people. She also enjoys going for walks and seems like the kind of dog who would happily join you on adventures.

Penny is about one year old and weighs around 35 pounds, making her a smaller, manageable size. She is not yet spayed but will be prior to adoption. While she resembles a Plott Hound, her exact mix is unknown. She has a medium-length coat and an adorable, distinctive curly tail.

She will need some potty training, but Penny is very eager to please and treat-motivated, so she should pick it up quickly. Penny is currently perfecting sit, down, and paw. She has a submissive personality with both people and dogs, often making herself small to appear non-threatening. We have also caught her play bowing with other dogs between kennels. Because of this, we believe she would do well with other dogs and children, though meet-and-greets are always recommended.

With some structure and basic training, Penny has all the qualities to be an amazing companion. She is affectionate, playful, smart, and loyal. Most importantly, she is ready to find a loving home of her own.

Fun tidbit: She wiggles her butt when she gets excited!
