Penny is a loving and playful 5 year old Great Pyrenees/ German Shephard. She is a sweetheart that enjoys cuddling, tug-of-war, chewing on her toys, walks and swimming in the creek. She is easily trained, completely toilet trained and food motivated. She knows all basic commands and then some and has no food aggression. She does become overwhelmed and frightened with loud noises and moving toys so she is on medication for anxiety. Though could likely come off medication in a less stimulating environment (she currently lives with small children and other animals). She would do best in a home with older children/adults and where she is the only pet.
Her bed, crate, food, medication, harness, leash, toys, etc can also be provided.
