Penny - Labrador Retriever and Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in San Diego, California

Hi, I'm Penny. 💛

I have a confession.

I'm the puppy who will steal your heart before you even realize what's happening.

One minute you're looking at my photo.

The next minute you're imagining me riding shotgun on road trips, playing in your backyard, joining you on morning walks, and curled up next to you on the couch.

I'm a 6-month-old Retriever/Shepherd mix with a happy heart, playful spirit, and enough love to fill an entire house.

I adore people, love other dogs, and make friends wherever I go. I'd be a wonderful second dog, but I'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only.

My dream home has a yard to play in, people to adore, and lots of adventures ahead.

The volunteers keep telling me that my family is out there.

Maybe they're reading this right now.

Maybe it's you.

Love,

Penny 🐾
