Penny has been waiting for a home in Wisconsin since January! Yes, Penny is a pitty mix, and this breed is not adopted quickly like a doodle, lab, or golden retriever. Pitties sit and wait patiently, hoping maybe today will be my lucky day.This girl LOVES her people. She wags with excitement from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail.Are you looking for a girl who will love you for who you are and never judge? Penny is your girl. We need to find Penny her forever home.She is 45 lbs, completed her heartworm treatment down south while not having her forever home.Penny needs to be an only dog. She never was properly socialized with other dogs. She is great with humans. No cats, she thinks they are a fun chase toy.This girl deserves a family that will love her and enjoy some cuddles along with a forever commitment.apply at wbdr.org

Story
Serenity, also known as CiciHuskyFemale5 years oldGood with dogs and very shy of peopleCici was a surrender from an Amish farmer that the state closed down due to neglect and bad conditions. She was used for breed purposes only. We believe she had at least 8 litters. Cici needs a home with another playful pup, and a fenced-in yard is a must.Cici has a heart condition, and because of that, she can not be spayed. There is a surgery to correct it, but their is a high chance she may not make it through the procedure. We have decided to let her live out her days, and we want her to have the very best. Cici is very sweet but is shy of people petting her. This girl has not 1 mean bone in her body. She is a dog that loves to lay in front of a door and soak up the warm sun. She is currently being fostered with lots of other dogs and small kids.apply at wbdr.org
