Penny Lynne JuM*

"For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo... " While this may be so, Penny Lynne's early days left a lot to be desired-she was alone and afraid. She had a litter of puppies that caught distemper and did not survive. She was skinny, and her coat was rough. Of course, unlike the Bard's tale, her story gets decidedly more upbeat. These days, Penny is healthy and happy. Her coat has regained shine, and she is intelligent and sensitive. She is really good at figuring out what her people want her to do. She mastered the doggie door in record time, walks on the lead, hikes, runs with her foster dad-she does it all. Penny is still a little shy when she first meets people, as she hasn't always had the best luck, but once she knows you are okay, she gets pretty silly and very affectionate. Penny likes to play with her foster brother but is a pretty quiet soul. Once she knows you are her people, she likes lots of affection. She does great in her kennel and gets along well with her three foster siblings-a Chihuahua, a terrier, and a shepherd mix. Penny is a great size-small enough for an apartment and easy road trips, but big enough for hikes, runs, and couch snuggles. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)
