penny at shelter

Penny is in her element now in her foster home, and her foster mom says she is the perfect houseguest for their active family. She is non-reactive to the cats and is excited to have an older "sister" dog to be her mentor and guide. Here are observations made by her foster mom: "Penny is an exuberant playmate with other dogs. She loves her people, especially kids! She can be a little wary of strange men, but with a confident human to coach her, handles it. She can be anxious bout getting into a car, but is working hard to overcome her fears. She was originally unwilling to crate as well, but has become willing to do that as well, thanks to the patience of her fosters (plus LOTS of treats and yummies!) Penny is housetrained, and loves curling up on a comfy couch with a good toy." Penny is perfecting her doggy social skills by playing with other dogs of all sizes, and she is learning to be more submissive with the dogs that ask her to back off a bit, and to invite other active dogs to play. Perfect adoption partner!
