MEET PENNY!

Reach out to them today for more details and thanks for sharing this to your story!

MORE INFO:

🐾Meet Penny!🐾
Penny is a 5 month old female. She is not spayed yet, so she can’t go home, but she would love visitors in the meantime. While Penny is a little nervous in her kennel, she really comes to life when she’s in the play yard! She is very sweet and affectionate. She's still learning the ropes of life and has all those adorable puppy tendencies – she can be a bit jumpy, mouthy, and puppy energy. Penny is already getting the hang of “sit” and, once she gets her initial burst of energy out, she calms down and loves to cuddle. She seems to get along with other dogs through the fence, but meet and greets are always recommended. If you would like to meet Penny, call the shelter!
