Story
Penny is a gorgeous Rhodesian ridgeback mix that weighs approximately 50 lbs and is the sweetest girl!
She is approximately 1 year and 3 months old and was found in January of 2026 in a cemetery with about 12+ other dogs. She was fending for herself, finding food, water and shelter where and when she could.
This awesome girl absolutely loves other dogs; big and small. She is currently being fostered in a sanctuary in south Texas, along the Texas/Mexico border. This amazing sanctuary is only a short term stop for this baby until their forever home is found. They are the ones who originally found her and got her to safety, before reaching out to us to help in placing their animals in the homes they deserve.
She can be a little shy right at first, but it doesn’t take her long to warm up and become your loyal, best friend.
Penny is very active and loves to romp around the yard and play with the other doggies. The happiest she is, is when she is with other dogs and they have toys to play tug-o-war with.
We strongly recommend another dog or dogs in the home, or consistent doggy friends/doggy parks/doggy day-care that she can go to.
Where Penny currently is, has pigs and she enjoys playing with them too! While she does love to play, she is very gentle when she does. She is not overly rough.
She is a bit of an escape artist as she just enjoys being out and about.
Penny is MOSTLY house trained, just needs consistency to master is 100%
Penny loves car rides and walks okay on a leash, will need a bit more work on the leash to become perfect.
She has great recall once she is familiar with the area. We learned she is an escape artist as she climbed a 4-foot fence and got out. But all she did was explore a little bit and then go to the front door of the home and wait to be let in. She is such a good girl!
An ideal home for Penny would be one that is:
Active, wants a dog that loves to go on adventures
Wants a best friend, a dog that will be your shadow
Has another active dog to play with and tire each other out
The fosters favourite thing about Penny:
That even after she was dumped and left to starve to death in the middle of nowhere, she still trusts people and is the sweetest, most loving baby.
