Story
Calling all Lab lovers! You’re going to want to meet Penny Love. This sweet girl has that rare, effortless charm that makes her feel like an instant classic. She’s easygoing, kind-hearted, and carries the kind of steady, loving presence that people search for when they imagine their perfect dog. Penny Love is the total package: beautiful, dog friendly, cat friendly, and blessed with a calm, balanced temperament that makes life alongside her feel simple and comfortable. She’s the kind of companion who fits seamlessly into your world and quickly becomes the best part of your everyday routine.

Penny Love is believed to be a Lab mix approximately 1.5 years old and currently weighs 70 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
From day one in her foster home, Penny has been an absolute dream. Truly the kind of dog people hope for. Her energy is beautifully laid back. She’s not constantly on the go, not busy or chaotic. She’s usually found curled up relaxing, just enjoying being near her people. She has that rare “young dog with an old soul” vibe that makes her feel so easy and comforting to be around.
And while she loves being close to her humans, she’s not clingy or overwhelming. She’ll happily stay nearby, keeping you company, without needing to be on top of you every second. It’s the perfect balance.
When it comes to other dogs, Penny is polite but a little shy at first and more of a slow-burn companion. Penny does best with dogs that are more on the calm side when meeting and not wanting to immediately jump into play right out the gate because that’s just not Penny. Once she knows she’s safe, though, she relaxes and starts to open up especially with calm, mature dogs who match her vibe.
She enjoys being around them, sniffing, walking alongside, etc. When she does play, she enjoys doing little side-by-side romps but she’s not a rough-and-rowdy playstyle kind of girl. Think “let’s hang out together” energy, not chaos.
Penny will do best in a home with a doggy friend that has the same cool, calm, and collected vibe like herself. A male friend that enjoys the company of another dog, isn’t looking for a constant playmate, and will respect her space once she arrives at her forever home. If you don’t have other dogs, Penny is totally fine with that.
She is always happiest when she’s surrounded by her favorite people, and she truly loves everyone! While she’ll happily play with another dog that matches her style, her eyes light up when she’s being loved on, and she doesn’t need the company of another dog to feel secure or fulfilled. Besides, we don’t think she’ll mind being the center of your attention anyway. She’ll soak it all up.
If you don’t have other dogs but you have a cat or two, Penny is cat friendly and is currently fostered in a home with 3 cats free roaming and does great with them! Her foster’s cats are very dog savvy and are used to being around big dogs. Penny and her feline friends happily co-exist, do their own thing, and don’t really bother each other too much. Penny will do best in a home with a cat (if you have one) that is very similar in temperament as the ones she is fostered with. They are aloof, keep to themselves, and don’t really care to interact with Penny.
Doesn’t she already sound amazing?! Well wait, there’s more! Penny loves treats, is learning basic commands such as sit, and wants to make you happy. She is potty trained as well and is working on getting more comfortable with a crate every day.
She’ll be a great companion for someone who enjoys going on casual strolls throughout the neighborhood and for someone looking for a snuggly pal at the end of the day. She is essentially a homebody and just enjoys the peace and comfort being home. She will absolutely go exploring with you on mini adventures, she just enjoys being home.
Penny enjoys being outside and would absolutely love for her forever home to have a nice big backyard where she can roam, play with her toys, and relax in the sun. Penny isn’t chaotic puppy energy. She’s that perfectly balanced, go-with-the-flow Lab who knows when it’s time for a stroll, when it’s time for a toy, and when it’s time to melt into the couch beside you. Penny does have the potential to also thrive in an apartment. She is generally a mellow girl that doesn’t require a whole lot of exercise, her at the end of the day, her happy place is with you. She has wonderful house manners, is respectful in the home, and carries herself like the polite little lady she is. No nonsense. No drama. Just solid, dependable good girl energy.
Penny isn’t just looking for a home, she’s looking for her family. The ones who are ready for a steady, loyal companion who will greet you with a wagging tail, settle in beside you after a long day, and quietly become the best decision you’ve ever made. She’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be flashy to stand out. Her goodness speaks for itself. If you’ve been waiting for that easygoing, well-mannered, dog-friendly, cat-friendly, mellow Lab who feels like she’s always been yours… this is your sign. Penny is ready to start her forever chapter, all she needs now is you
We are willing to test Penny Love with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
