Hi… I’m Penny.

I didn’t always have a home.
So when I found one… I held onto it with everything I had.

I’m the kind of girl who will lean into you, wrap my paws around you in the softest hug, and just stay there like I’ve finally found where I belong.

I’m doing all the “good dog” things—I go potty outside when I’m on a schedule, I walk nicely on a leash, I’m kind with other dogs, gentle with kids, and respectful of cats. I really am trying so hard to be everything someone could want.

But here’s the part that’s harder to say…

Not because I’m naughty. Not because I want to cause trouble.
But because a part of me is still afraid that when people go… they don’t come back.

And in that fear, I don’t always make safe choices. I try to get to you. I try to find you. I just

The people helping me see that I’m not broken… I’m just scared.
They’ve started helping me with medication, and it’s made such a difference. With that support, I can rest. I can breathe. I can stay calm for hours without that panic taking over. I’m learning what it feels like to be safe—even when you’re not right next to me.
