NV/Penny

My story

Penny is an adorable 5-year-old Brittany/Aussie mix.  She is highly energetic as well as a class-A cuddler.  She loves all people (including respectful, dog-savvy children) and is super affectionate.  She also gets along well with other dogs.  Penny needs daily mental and physical stimulation.  She loves nothing better than to run and play fetch and when she’s had enough exercise, she loves to cuddle on the couch with her people.  She also loves to sleep in bed with her humans if allowed. Penny will need a home with a large yard enclosed with a secure 6-foot wooden fence so she can chase squirrels, lizards and any other critters with the bad sense to show up in her yard.  Interestingly, Penny is quite tolerant of the resident chickens.  She loves to play with other dogs and would love to have another play-loving up as a companion.  Given her genes, Penny on occasion has been known to correct her canine siblings if they are not listening to their mom’s commands.  Penny needs an owner who can take her on daily runs or vigorous walks.  If she is not getting the proper amount of exercise she will tell you since she is quite the talker.  Any new owner needs to have the time, temperament, and willingness to both exercise Penny daily and consistently but also work on brushing up her obedience and social skills using positive reinforcement.  This will ensure Penny has all the tools to be the best version of herself.  Penny will do best in a home where someone is home most of the time or works from home.    The adoption fee for Penny is $275.  She is spayed, current on her vaccinations and microchipped.   She is also housebroken and crate trained.  If you are interested in making Penny a member of your family, and have the time, energy, and love to give her, please visit www.nbran.org and complete the on-line adoption application form under the Adopt tab.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process and will be conducted by your local state coordinator.  For further information after you have completed the application (and if you are in transport distance)  you may contact the NV coordinators at doglover95966@yahoo.com or wanbran@comcast.net.  Please realize that all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs.  We do not operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Penny can be adopted up to 1400 miles from her present home (Reno NV) to eligible adopters with the adopter driving the last 100 miles. .October 16, 2026, 6:07 pm
