Penny

My story

This 3-year-old black Labrador Retriever is the perfect mix of curious and cuddly! Weighing in at 60 pounds, Penny loves her humans deeply and would love nothing more than to curl up next to them (or sometimes, on their lap) after a round of fetch or tug of war.Penny is fully potty trained and crate trained, finding comfort in her crate at night and when home alone. She enjoys two short walks a day (15-20 minutes each) but thrives with extra playtime, like fetch or tug of war, to burn off some energy. She isn’t overly vocal—she rarely barks unless she spots a critter or a stranger near the house.Penny is a total sweetheart and absolutely adores people. She hasn’t been around kids yet, so a proper introduction will be needed. She also cannot live with other dogs or cats in the home.Energy-wise, Penny is moderately active. She loves squeaky toys, rope toys for tug of war, and chasing after tennis balls. One of her cutest quirks is her head tilt when you talk to her—she seems to be trying to understand every word. She’s also incredibly observant and will intently watch you cook or clean as if she’s studying the process!Penny is a smart, loving, and resilient dog who is eager to keep learning. She needs a home that will continue to guide her with patience and positive reinforcement, and who she can love in return! Could Penny be the perfect addition to your family?If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
