About Dorian's Penny

A pretty girl like me should have all the petting, don't you think so? Hi, I'm Dorian's Penny. I was evacuated from a shelter in NC that was projected to be in Hurricane Dorian's path. I am about 3 years old and weigh about 45lbs. I could be part collie part hound mix. My foster Momma says at her house: - I'm good in a crate, just need a little more time practicing the going in part. - So far I haven't had any accidents. - I am a bit timid, but I am working on learning trust. I now happy prance when foster Momma takes me outside instead of Pancaking myself to the ground. - I love my foster brother Dorian's Paxton. He is helping me come out of my she'll more everyday. Foster Momma doesn't know what happened to me before I got to the shelter. I can't tell her but she says she doesn't think I've had an easy life. Don't worry she is helping mend my heart with love. I went to the dog park and tried to make some friends today (9.15.19), I sniffed and trotted with some dogs. My favorite part was there were so many new people to pet me! If you are interested in me, please apply today. I am looking for a family to call my own. This dog tested positive for Ehrlichia before arriving to the rescue. Ehrlichia is a very common type of bacteria that infects dogs and other species and is spread by ticks. Ehrlichia is not contagious to humans or other pets. The only way to get this disease is to be bitten by a tick that carries it. The treatment is typically 21-30 days of antibiotics. This dog started treatment upon arriving to the rescue. Dorian's Penny is up-to-date on her shots and has been spayed. Dorian's Penny is currently being fostered in Nokesville, VA. Learn more and apply to adopt at https://ophrescue.org/dogs/8489
