Looking for a forever home for our foster dog Penny. We think she is a pitbull/cattle dog mix and around 1 year old. She is up to date on all shots and we plan to get her spayed in the next month.
Penny is an high energy girl. Her ideal home would include a securely fenced yard where she can run around and someone who will give her lots of exercise. She would do best in a single-dog household. She does get along with other dogs after getting to know them but it would take a lot of work and patience as she is jealous around new dogs, especially females. A home without cats or other small pets is recommended. She has been around kids and does well with them, but due to her high energy she would probably do best with older kids or kids who are comfortable around dogs.
She is crate trained and sleeps in her crate during the night. She is very stubborn and would benefit from a home where rules/training will be strongly enforced. She would do best with someone who works from home or is home majority of the day.
She is a super sweet and goofy girl, and needs a home with someone who is experienced with high energy dogs and can give her the exercise and attention she needs.
If interested please contact.
