Story
Meet Penelope (aka Penny) 3-year-old Border Collie mix | Spayed Female Penelope, lovingly called Penny, is a smart, loyal, and people-loving girl who is looking for a fresh start in a home that’s a good fit for her needs. Penny adores people and has never met a stranger she didn’t want to be friends with (though men wearing hats may earn a few cautious barks at first ). She is housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and does wonderfully staying home alone during the day. At night, she happily settles into her crate and sleeps soundly. She rides well in the car, listens when redirected, and is described as very obedient and eager to please. Penny has lived indoors and truly thrives as a companion dog who is included in daily life. With kids, Penny is affectionate and friendly, but because she’s a bigger, enthusiastic girl, she does best with older or dog-savvy children who can respect her space and energy. She may be a bit pushy with smaller kids if not supervised. Penny generally does well with other dogs, but after a recent stressful incident with a smaller, persistently growly dog, it’s clear she would do best in a home with careful dog introductions or possibly as the only dog. She can be redirected from chasing cats and listens well, but a cat-savvy home would be ideal. The good stuff: Fully vetted & spayed House & crate trained Loves people Obedient and responsive Healthy and well cared for Penny’s current family is even willing to foster her while she waits for the right forever home — a testament to how loved she is. If you’re looking for a devoted, intelligent companion who just needs the right environment to shine, Penny might be your girl Apply to adopt Penelope here:https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=1707539&name=Penelope+ ##1707539##
