Age / Size: 1 year, 13 pounds
Rescued in Texas
💙 Foster Note
Penny has so much love to give. Every night when we go to bed, Penny hops up and curls up next to me putting her head on my shoulder. When I kneel down to pet her, she comes to cuddle against my leg and get head rubs or tummy rubs. She is the definition of a lap dog! Penny is not a barker and is great in a crate. She's fine being left alone. Penny would be a great fit for someone who loves to cuddle, relax, and explore every once in a while!
💛 Personality Snapshot
Describe in 3–5 words: Cuddly, loving, curious, and chill.
Energy level (Low / Moderate / High): Moderate
More people‑oriented or independent? People oriented-she LOVES love.
How do they handle new situations? Penny can be a little hesitant, but adjusts quickly with some assurance from her people.
🐕 Social & Home Life
How are they with people (adults/kids/new people)? Hesitant, but sweet! She makes friends with everyone on the street.
How are they with other dogs? Generally indifferent to other dogs, but she has been through a big transition so maybe she’s also still adjusting to big city noises and a new space.
Cats or other animals (if known)? Not cat tested, but does fine at the dog park!
Behavior when left alone or when guests visit: Whines for a few minutes, but loves wave noises and settles down quickly. She has adjusted to crate training SO well!

Crate trained? Yes, fine in one for a workday
Leash skills: She is very curious and can zig zag a little, but doesn’t pull and responds to redirection very quickly.
Commands known (if any): She is responding to her name and has had some success with sit!
🌞 Daily Life
Typical day with you: Three walks a day, chill/cuddly time on the couch, and a stop at the dog park to bask in the sun and watch the other pups.
Exercise needs: Penny seems like she would rather nap than walk, but is always down for an adventure once the leash comes out!
Favorite activities or toys: Penny loves to sniff and look at herself in windows. When she’s not on the move, she is napping or curling up by her person for cuddles.
🏡 Ideal Home

Good fit for apartment living? Yes!
Best type of household (active, moderate, calm): Moderate or active. She really just wants to be with her person.
