Story
Meet Penny!
Penny is a spirited six-and-a-half-year-old Coonhound Mix currently in Cincinnati, OH, whose heart is as big as her velvety tricolored coat and whose soulful eyes sparkle with devotion. She carries the perfect balance of playful energy and steady companionship, always ready for her next adventure!
Penny thrives on routine and truly blossoms in a caring environment. She would benefit from a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore while following her curious hound nose. Daily walks are one of her favorite rituals, and she is a wonderful walker who hardly ever pulls, happily trotting along at your side. Car rides have quickly become her happy place, because to Penny the car means something magical is about to happen. Whether it is a park visit, a scenic drive, or a simple errand, she settles in with bright anticipation for the fun ahead.
Penny has truly been thriving with regular outings. She has visited the mall and even met Santa this year, tagged along for late night gas station trips, and helped with a stop at Liberty Tax. She enjoys Walmart and Home Depot adventures, happily soaking up attention from adults and even allowing gentle pets from older kids. She clearly forms a deep bond with her person and loves being someone’s loyal buddy!
She’s incredibly smart and food-motivated, making her eager to learn new tricks. She already knows sit, down, spin, and place, and is working on mastering stay and recall. She has a wonderfully goofy personality and isn’t shy about showing affection. In the home, Penny forms a deep bond with her person and becomes wonderfully attached, often leaning in for her signature dog hug and resting her head gently against you. She loves when adults pet her and has recently shown that she will even allow some older kids to offer gentle affection, though small children can still make her feel nervous.
She is crate-trained, house-trained, and comfortable being left alone for short periods, though her happiest moments are spent close to her favorite human. Penny does have some anxiety, particularly around storms and the vet, but she’s a resilient girl who just needs reassurance in those moments.
Penny has never bitten a person. However, she has experienced challenges with other dogs. She has bitten a dog in the past due to resource guarding her food, and a second incident occurred without a clear trigger. For this reason, she must be the only pet in the home, where she can feel secure, relaxed, and fully supported without the stress of sharing her space or resources.
She is already spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on allergy medication to keep her feeling her best. At 90 pounds, she would benefit from a balanced diet and healthy routine to help her feel her very best. If you’re looking for an affectionate, fun-loving companion who will fill your home with love and laughter, Penny just might be the right match for your family!
