Penn's Story

Arkwild B Penny, R 54C, L 76052Hi I’m Penn! I am an active boy who loves to play with toys and explore the world around me! Even though I have a foot injury I am still recovering from, I don't let it slow me down–I love to go on walks and sniff my way through the neighborhood, noticing every squirrel and bird that crosses my path. I like to meet new people, but I’m unsure about dogs that aren’t greyhounds. Do they even count as dogs if they aren’t greyhounds? I enjoy a good neck scritch, and will give you a big hug in return to show how much I love it. If my people are home, I prefer us to be in the same space, and I don't like to go in the kennel if I know my people are about to leave. I will let you sleep in in the morning as long as I have toys to occupy myself with, but I would prefer we all got up and got the day started already! The vacuum cleaner is the only thing that has scared me even a little bit so far. Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?<br/><br/>To see other hounds currently in our care please visit the Hounds in Our Care page on our website.<br/><br/>You can also learn learn more about our adoption philosophy and find a link to our online application at our website: www.gpa-mn.org<br/><br/>If you are interested in learning more about adopting from GPA MN, please contact us at adoptioninfo@gpa-mn.org
