Peny is the kind of dog who will keep herself happily busy with toys, then curl up beside you for a cozy night in. She is house trained, not destructive, and incredibly affectionate with people. She has never shown any aggression toward humans and is gentle even when it comes to food, toys, or treats being taken from her.

Penny does have hydrocephalus, but she has been seen by a neurologist and is stable on her medications. She takes omeprazole and prednisone and continues to thrive.

Where Penny struggles is sharing space around food and confinement with other animals. Because of this, she needs to be the only pet in the home. In her current foster setting, the constant management required to keep everyone safe is becoming overwhelming, and it is not fair to Penny to live in a situation where she has to be separated so often.

What Penny needs is simple:

A home with no other animals

A family who will give her exercise, structure, and love

A couch to snuggle on after a long walk

She has lived with children over 5 years old and done well. She just wants her own people and a chance to relax and be herself without stress.

Penny is currently on Long Island, and transport can be arranged for the right home.

If you cannot adopt, please share her story. The right person is out there, and Penny deserves to be found.
