Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Our nearly perfect little Penny is ready for her home. Penny is a 5 year old mini Aussie that came to us from a local family. Sadly they were moving and were unable to take her with them. That’s when we stepped in. Penny has so much love to give her people. She is never far behind her foster mama and seems to always have a smile on her face. She loves life, an anything she can do with her family. Penny is crate trained, housebroken, and good with cats, dogs, and kids! She can be a little shy and reserved at first. It takes her a couple of days to warm up and trust her new family, but once she does, you can’t escape her. And really why would you?! Just look at that face! Those little spots on her nose are just the cutest. Penny has no idea about boundaries or personal space; she’s always glued to your side when you are home. Penny is the type of dog that will do whatever you do. If you want to take a hike, she will go. If you want to go for a drive, sure, she’s up for it! Want to sit and watch TV, no problem. Penny will do that too! If you are sick and need to lay in bed all day, don’t worry, Penny is all for that too. Her goal in life is to make sure you never feel alone. She’s good at it too! Penny knows some basic commands such as sit and come. She does pull when on a leash at first but then she settles down. Sometimes it’s hard for Penny to hide her excitement. When you come home from work, she cannot contain herself. Penny will jump and leap and cry and bark. She spins in circles and dances on her back legs with her front paws waving in the air. Penny will cry when you first leave but will settle down. Once she knows your routine, and knows you will be coming back to her, Penny is perfectly fine when you leave her. Penny can be a bit of a barker. Not a nuisance barker, but she will let you know when people are at the door, and when people come in. Her bark is very high pitched and loud. For this reason she would not do well in a typical apartment setting. When Penny first arrived, she did have fleas. Our vet seems to think that the patches of hair loss on her back was a reaction to the fleas. It is growing in nicely. That being said it will be important to keep her up to date on flea prevention during the warmer months. She also recently has surgery to repair a cherry eye. That is why her one eye appears pinkish on the bottom. It is in the process of healing. No additional care will be needed for her though at this time. If you think Penny is the right fit for your home, make sure you apply today. This sweet little girl won’t be around too long. Penny is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm, She has also had a cherry eye repair surgery since coming to rescue. Her adoption fee is $450Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 24, 2024, 2:27 pm
