Penny - Basset Hound and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Brainerd, Minnesota

Penny is a sweet, compact brindle girl with wonderful manners and an even better personality. She is house trained, crate trained, easy on leash, and knows commands like sit and down. She'll even wait patiently in her kennel until her leash is clipped on before heading out.

She is great with dogs, cats, and kids and has an especially gentle way of interacting with little ones. Penny loves playing with other dogs, going for walks, snuggling with her people, and occasionally chasing grasshoppers like it's a full-time job.

Playful, affectionate, and eager to please, Penny would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a dog-friendly, cat-friendly, kid-friendly companion who already has a great foundation of training.


Penny's adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers her spay, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care she may have needed while in the rescue's care.
We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.northernlakesrescue.org

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
