Penny is a 5-year-old who may be shy and unsure at first, but a few back scratches and she’s yours for the taking. She used to be a mother but now she’s spayed and good to go, except for a case of heartworms — but the APS will treat that. Despite her silly side, she is actually pretty quiet and cuddly most of the time. She gets along great with dogs. She doesn’t seem to have any barrier/leash aggression issues, which makes her a rarity around here. She could probably live with a bossier housemate, because she is just a big sweet baby. She’s not too interested in cats, but they make her a little nervous. She would be a great addition to a multi-pet household, or would be perfectly fine being the four-legger around.
