Pennsylvania

Meet Pennsylvania! Lovingly called Penny or Penn, this happy, growing, 6-month-old petite pittie-mix has recently been thriving in an amazing foster home. Coming to us from a suspected cruelty case, Penny is finally getting the chance to learn what being a puppy is all about. And she is making up for lost time in the best way.

Penny is extremely social, curious and eager to please once you have her attention. She’s also very food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for everyone involved. She’s a smart girl who enjoys learning and engaging with her people!

Penny’s personality is full of charm and silliness. Penny’s expressive ears and adorable head tilts appear whenever she hears a new sound. Her snoring is hilariously loud, like a full-grown adult, which never fails to make everyone laugh. Penny takes cuddle time very seriously — sometimes even climbing into your clothes just to get a little bit closer during snuggle time.

Penny loves to play and would happily spend hours chasing a ball and bringing it right back for another throw. If she had to pick her favorite thing, it might just be playing with other dogs! Since being in foster care, she has met and played with many different dogs and has done wonderfully with both male and female dogs.

Penny is a busy, happy puppy who enjoys a routine. Her day starts bright and early with morning playtime, followed by breakfast, which she eagerly waits for in her crate. After a full day of adventures and activity, she’s ready to settle in for dinner and a cozy night.

Penny loves people just as much as she loves dogs. She greets everyone with an adorable, submissive puppy wiggle before quickly moving in for all the love and attention she can get. If you’re sitting down, don’t be surprised if she wants to be right next to you — or even in your lap.

Penny has also proven to be a confident and curious pup, taking new experiences in stride. She wasn’t bothered by loud thunderstorms and is great for nail trims and handling. While baths aren’t her favorite activity, she tolerates them like a champ.

Pennsylvania is looking for a fun, adventurous and playful family who is excited to continue helping her learn about the world and give her the joyful, active life every puppy deserves. With her big personality, loving heart and endless enthusiasm for life, Penny is ready to be someone’s very best adventure buddy. Fill out an adoption application to schedule a meet-and-greet with her today!
