Meet Penny!
Penny is a young Chihuahua mix with a tender heart and a quiet curiosity about the world. She didn’t have much early socialization, so she’s still learning that humans can be kind, predictable, and safe. While she’s not quite comfortable with hands-on handling yet, Penny makes progress every single day—and it’s wonderful to watch her confidence slowly bloom. Penny is looking for a patient, understanding family who will let her move at her own pace and celebrate the small victories. She’ll benefit from working with a trainer who can help her learn the basics of life in a human world and continue building her trust and confidence through positive reinforcement.
She would love having another gentle, social dog in the home to show her the ropes and help her feel secure. With proper introductions, Penny could likely learn to live peacefully with cats as well. A home with respectful teenagers would be fine, as long as everyone is committed to her training and socialization journey.
Penny may not be the kind of dog who runs up for cuddles right away—but for the right family, earning her trust will be incredibly rewarding. If you have patience, compassion, and room in your heart for a shy pup learning to shine, Penny just might be your perfect match. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on Instagram (@nwdogproject) for updates! If you would like to be considered as Penny's forever home, be sure to submit an adoption application on our website!
Adoption fee includes; spay/neuter, microchip, microchip registration, dewormer, fecal testing, flea/tick prevention and age-appropriate vaccines.

Cats :
Dogs : Yep!
Kiddos : 13+
