Penny

Hiya! My name is Penny and I'm about 2 years old. I'm a lab mix, about 45 lbs. I am friendly, loving and full of gusto. There's not a person I don't like especially if they give me all the pets but I guess you can say I'm a daddy's girl because when he's home I am always with him. I'm a grade A cuddler and my foster parents let me sleep with them for a few hours in bed before they crate me at night. I go in and sleep no problem. With a consistent water and potty schedule I have house training down. I was found as a stray in Baltimore county and they think for quite some time because I was a skeleton when I first got here (30 lbs). So, I am still picking up what a home life is all about. I'm loving all the dog beds and FOOD here. I've gotten a lot better at not looking for food now that I know I am gonna be fed. I get along with all the dogs here. I'm learning to respect space, I'm kinda still a puppy. I can be cat tested if needed. Older kids would be best because I do jump when I get excited when humans come home. I pull a bit on leash mainly from just excitement to be out and about. I LOOOOVE car rides and jump right in and stay in the back with a seat belt clip like a good little girl. ADOPTION PROCESS 1.
