Pennie is a tiny bundle of love with a big story and an even bigger heart. This 4-month old Chihuahua/Beagle mix may by tiny, but she's packed with personality, sweetness, and just the right amount of puppy playfulness. With her adorable brown and white coat dotted in little black spots, she's as cute as a button and twice as charming. Pennie is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and older kids, and she's already well on her way to being potty trained, what a smart cookie! She's the perfect mix of playful pup and snuggly lap dog, always ready to zoom around one minute and curl up with her favorite humans the next. Despite a rough start, being abandoned at a school where she didn't always receive kindness, Pennie has held onto her gentle, loving spirit. She's quiet, friendly, and thrives on companionship, making her the ultimate little shadow who just wants to be by your side. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and downright paw-some companion, Pennie is ready to wag her way right into your heart.
Pennie is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 05/16/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9 am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
