Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Penny…rescued off the streets but in a better place now. Penny is a 7 yr old female Chi/Rat Terrier mix who is low maintenance, easy going and gets along well with other dogs and cats. She is small in size (only 9 lbs) & she can melt your heart with those soulful brown eyes.
Her favorite place is to be by your side whether it's out for a walk or sitting on the couch. She has tons of potential & will do great with some basic training.
Penny has been diagnosed with luxating patella in both knees. Three veterinarians felt she was not a good candidate for surgery due to her age, requirement of extensive repair and lengthy recovery. But she’s a happy little girl who has mastered living with her disability.
Otherwise, she is in perfect health. Up to date on HW prevention, her vaccinations, flea & tick protection & has had her dental. Penny longs to be someone's special pet with a secure yard to run and play…she's awaiting your friendship
