Story
Pet Location: Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – I`d love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me! My Friends at Wayside say: - I am from a puppy mill situation. I will likely need extra time to adjust to home life. I have lived with other dogs but have not socialized with people. Things like walking on a leash and going through doorways can be challenging for me. Adopting me will be extremely rewarding, but I need time to learn. - I am enrolled in Confidence College. This is a program for dogs to build confidence and learn that the world is not so scary. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session. - I’m a shy dog and need someone willing to be patient with me.- I love my stuffies!- I have displayed some touch sensitivities. Ask our staff for more info!- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information. My home needs are: - A fenced yard is a must for me! I do not know how to walk on a leash, so I need a secure area to go out for potty breaks.- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises. - I must go to a home that already has another dog so they can show me the ropes. - Other dogs in the home must be small, as large dogs make me a little nervous. Special Request from Mittens: For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.

Story
🐾 Meet Penny Lane — A Gentle Senior with a Heart Full of Love 🐾 Penny Lane is a 12-year-old Shih Tzu/Terrier mix with the sweetest, most soulful presence. Weighing about 20 pounds, this senior girl is calm, affectionate, and deeply devoted to her people. She recently lost the only home she had known when her beloved owner passed away, and now she’s looking for a quiet, loving place to land for her golden years. Penny is an indoor companion who does well when left alone. She’s not destructive and is generally quiet, though she may bark if she sees activity outside or if things get a little noisy around her. Penny never learned full housetraining due to years of instability in her past, but she does go outside for potty breaks and also uses a pee pad indoors, which works well for her. One of Penny’s most endearing traits is her loyalty—she likes to choose a favorite person and stay close, following them from room to room and curling up nearby. She enjoys plush toys, sometimes carrying them around, and will occasionally engage in a gentle game of fetch. 🐶 With Other Pets: Penny tends to ignore other dogs and cats, coexisting peacefully. She has shown mild jealousy if another pet receives attention while she’s nearby, but this has been limited to barking or growling—never aggression. She does best when her boundaries are respected and attention is shared thoughtfully. 👧 With Children: Penny does well with older children who are calm and gentle. She is more sensitive around toddlers due to their unpredictability and will signal discomfort by moving away or growling if she feels overwhelmed. A home with adults or older kids who understand dog cues would be ideal. 💛 The Ideal Home for Penny Lane: • A calm, quiet environment • Adults or older children • Someone who appreciates a loyal “shadow” dog • Willingness to use potty pads as part of her routine • A patient, loving adopter ready to give a senior dog the comfort she deserves Penny Lane may be in her golden years, but she still has so much love to give. She’s looking for a peaceful home where she can feel safe, cherished, and close to her person—just as she’s always wanted. If you have room in your heart for a gentle senior who will be devoted to you, Penny Lane is ready to walk beside you into her next chapter. 💛 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt. Once approved, we’ll work with you to ensure it’s a great fit—and if it’s not, no worries! We’ll help you find the perfect match. All of our cats are adoption-ready and come: • Spayed or neutered • FELV/FIV tested • Dewormed • Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines • Microchipped
