Penny - CPAA
Penny
Penny was pulled from a shelter in the Philadelphia area when they reached out and asked for CPAA and the HOPE Program to give her a chance. During her time in the shelter, Penny was overwhelmed with all the commotion and would spend most of her days spinning in her kennel and drool due to fear, stress, and anxiety. She was a volunteer favorite and knew that if she could just get out of the shelter, her life would change forever.
Penny went to live in a transitional foster home so that we could get to know her and help her decompress from the shelter stress. She seemed to really blossom in the foster home and we knew that HOPE could really help Penny meet her full potential. Penny can be slow to trust, but once she builds that bond with you, you'll always have her as a best friend! We are still learning about what kind of dogs she enjoys being around, or if she would like to be an only pet, so please follow her journey below and be sure to share her page!
Penny is sponsored by the Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance, CPAA. You can apply to adopt her here, https://www.centralpaanimalalliance.org/apply-to-adopt.

Penny is getting better with her new home. She still hasn’t played with some of the dogs here, but most! Penny’s newfound love is balls with a sound or a basketball to chew on and play with. Penny LOVES being outside running and playing.

Penny is doing well for her first week in a new environment. I’ve found that Penny likes to play tug very much. She also loves balls that have a sound coming out of it. She has run the fence with Booker and Shadow. She has had a meeting with all of the dogs – some better than others. Penny is a great dog once she lets her guard down!

Penny joined the HOPE Program today! She spent two weeks in a foster home helping her get ready for her move into the BIG HOUSE, and we're all very excited to see how we can help her learn to trust new people and be the playful dog that we saw while in her foster home.
