My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Our beautiful girl Penny has been waiting for her forever home for over a year now. Could you give Penny her “happy ever after?”

Penny loves both receiving and giving affectionate. She loves being with her people and cuddling with them. One of Penny’s very favorite things is being on the receiving end of lots of petting and body scratches.  She’s a “leaner” and so very sweetly will  lean into you and relax while you’re petting her.

Penny loves running around in the backyard at her foster home, going for walks, chewing on her chew bones, and playing with her toys (this girl REALLY loves to play). She does get excited when playing and children may be best who are steady on their feet. As much as Penny loves being outside, we believe she would love activities like hiking and camping or other outdoor physical activities with her family.

When it comes to training, Penny is the trifecta. She loves treats, she’s intelligent, and she’s eager to please. She’s very intelligent and eager and could easily excel at trick training (which is always fun!) Since coming to TFP, Penny and her foster mom have participated in private training sessions so Penny has down the basics.

Penny does seem to do better with male dogs and we believe Penny would do best in a home where dog siblings are male. Currently, she lives with a male foster doggy sibling and they do very well together. Penny has shown she can be selective with female dogs. 

Penny may initially bark at people she doesn’t know; however, once introductions are made, everyone is her friend especially when they shower her with lots of petting (as mentioned, one of Penny’s favorite things). After coming to TFP, Penny and her foster mom had the opportunity to work one-on-one with a trainer and Penny has mastered her basic skills.

Penny is crate trained and has THE best crate manners. She is also completely housebroken.

More about this rescue

We are not selective about the breed of dog we help. We consider the lives of all breeds to be equal. The labor force behind our mission is 100% volunteer staffed. We save dogs from shelters as well as from owners who cannot care for their dogs any longer. The dogs we take in are placed in loving foster homes until they find their forever home. We do not have a brick and mortar facility; we are 100% foster based including loving fospice for terminally ill dogs. We work to support the local community by providing education on care and treatment of dogs. Promoting safe handling, the importance of vaccinations, heartworm prevention, advocating and providing financial assistance to those in need for spay and neutering. We arrange for community outreach by building kennels and outdoor shelters to get dogs off chains.
