Even though she has a softer personality, she still has that fun, goofy puppy energy that makes life so entertaining. She loves toys more than just about anything and likes carrying them around proudly everywhere she goes like tiny little treasures. You will constantly find her trotting around with a toy in her mouth looking unbelievably cute. She loves to play, bounce around with other dogs, chase toys, and join in on all the puppy fun, but she also has such a calm cuddly side too. Once playtime is over, Penny is more than happy to curl up close and soak in affection.

She has been doing wonderfully in her foster home and is already making great progress with potty training and sleeping in her crate at night. For such a young puppy, she is doing incredibly well and learning quickly with consistency and encouragement. She would thrive in a home that continues helping her build confidence while showering her with love and patience.

Penny gets along beautifully with other dogs and really enjoys having playful companionship. She has a gentle play style and such a sweet nature about her. She would fit wonderfully into a family looking for a loving puppy that can be playful and silly during the day but also settle down and enjoy quiet cuddle time.

There is something so comforting and pure about Penny. She has this soft little presence that makes people instantly fall in love with her. She is goofy, affectionate, playful, cuddly, and incredibly loving all wrapped into one tiny puppy package. She truly feels like the kind of dog that will grow into a deeply loyal best friend who just wants to be loved and included in everyday life.

Penny is still just a baby, with so much life and love ahead of her, and she is ready for a forever family that will adore her as much as she deserves.
