About Penny
Penny is a very sweet girl who loves affection. Once she got familiar with us and we gained her trust, she became a very loyal, curious happy dog. She loves to be around people once she is familiar with them, but is still standoffish with new people.
Penny needs a fenced yard, as she likes to explore. She also likes to eat plants and sticks, so should be watched carefully in new environment.
Because she comes from a hoarding situation, Penny had never been outside or on a leash before coming to us, but she is doing well on a leash now and enjoys walks! She’s only seen snow once, and was not impressed, and is definitely not used to the cold.
Penny's favourite pastimes are burrowing under blankets, sitting in the sun, and getting endless love and affection. She does well in a calm environment. Let her come to you and she will be such a loyal companion.

Why We Love Fostering
-
We love fostering because the dogs bring so much love and joy into our home. Seeing them adjust to life in a home, come out of their shells and become their happy, playful selves is so rewarding. It's also a great feeling so see them got adopted by a home that will love them forever. The foster dogs also have a lot to teach us about resilience, adaptability, trust and unconditional love. They inspire us to be better versions of ourselves. If they can survive their histories while still being loving and happy, so can we.
