About Penny

Currently in foster in Olympia, Washington. PENNY is a unique dog...smart, affectionate, independent. She is 1 1/2 yrs old, and a Fox Terrier type. She is 24# which is full grown. She came to me from a friend who works at a Vet Clinic of which Penny was brought in by their local ACS to be put down...because she was injured and they had no means to care for her. My friend instantly called me and asked if I would take her. The injury was like a road burn in an awkward place...right where the thigh joins the hip. It was like all of the skin had been peeled off. The vet/tech took x-rays (nothing broken), gave her a bath; shaved and cleaned the area; heartworm tested her (Negative); and gave her a Rabies vaccination. She also donated the 2 tubes of ointment for the injury. It took 3 weeks to heal. It will probably grow back most of the hair but there may be some pink skin left. With her very short hair, it probably won't be noticeable at all. We then had her spayed; 2 dog vaccinations and Bordetella. SHE'S READY TO GO!! I have since turned her loose in my house with 5 cats and many dogs. She's such a happy camper. She loves to play with the puppies. She pesters my cats but she basically leaves them alone. She is leary of strangers but warms up to them quickly. I have not had her around young children. She basically has a mature personality, so I wouldn't say she would tolerate the behavior of young children. She would be good with kids from 8+...if they know how to be loving and play gently. Playing may increase as she gets to know them. She can be a barker for strange people and strange noises but I wouldn't categorize her as a 'yapper'. You scold and tell her to quit and she does. We are working on the house training. Check out our little video or her on my bed. She was feeling playful so she had a 'jazzed' look on her face. I believe she will be a lap dog once she gets the TLC she deserves. https://youtu.be/mmdEUVoDjo4 Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heartworm prevention.
