She was healthy and well cared for upon her return, but overweight-which has since then been remedied. Penny has shown to have jealous tendencies over her perceived “person” at times and does bark. She’s a pint sized rabble rouser, lol! She is protective over her kennel space and treats. She loves to be held and is extremely affectionate with her humans. She gets very excited by the prospect of going outside. Will choose to potty outdoors over her indoor designated puppy pad area…rarely has an accident elsewhere but is so tiny that it’s very manageable. She would fit comfortably with people with kids over 6yrs of age and should not be placed with dogs much bigger than herself. She gets along with male dogs better than other females.
