Penny's Profile

Hi, I’m Penny!

The staff at the OHS call me a Socialite. Did you know that a Socialite’s absolute favourite thing is hanging out with their people? They love being at the centre of attention and are excited to meet almost anyone. Socialites enjoy activities like joining in on family outings and going for leisurely walks, playing games like tug and fetch, and participating in training games! And while they might enjoy the occasional run or hike, they are usually content to stick around the neighbourhood. Most Socialites enjoy finishing off a day by settling down with a chew toy or puzzle feeder while you relax for the evening. So, if you like the company of a dog that will adore you and want to be involved in all of your activities, you’ll have lots of fun with a Socialite!

I am currently relaxing in a foster home! Book an appointment to meet and adopt me!

I am currently positive for Lyme disease but no signs of clinical disease have been noted at this time. I am ready to find my new home while I finish treatment for this bacteria. There is a follow up test that is recommended in several few months and the plan for that test should be made with my new owner’s regular veterinarian.

I have some teeth that are worn. This is likely due to me chewing objects that are too hard. I will require regular veterinary check-ups to monitor my teeth. In the future I may need dental care for this condition under general anesthesia, possibly including dental extractions or other procedures.

I am looking for a home where I have space to run!

I am to go to a home with no young kids, small animals or cats!

I am currently relaxing in a foster home as I wait for my forever family. Please contact an adoptions staff to book an appointment to meet me!
