Meet Penny, a spirited and hard-working 4 year old Mini American Shepherd. She's a sweet girl with plenty of love to give, but needs an experienced adopter who is home often. Farm life would be perfect for this girl, but at minimum, a large house with a fenced in yard.
She loves to go for walks and play fetch in the snow, so if you're looking for an active companion, she might be your match! Rain or shine, Penny will be at your side ready for your next adventure.
Her rehoming fee comes with her crate/bed, her favorite blanket, her toys, a freshly bought 11 lb of food, and her gear. She is embarked and confirmed purebred with no at risk health concerns.
