Penny's Story

Get ready for the greatest love of your life!!!COURTESY LISTING:<br/>Penny and her brother, Coco have been labelled special needs given that they need families who understand how to work with young dogs who are a bit skittish.<br/>Please contact Hector: text (best method) (915) 355-4592, if calling, please leave a message.<br/>By email: HeOliveira@aol.com (checked daily).<br/>Penny and Coco are in Elroy (between Phoenix and Tucson)<br/>Penny and Coco need a new family (or families) before the end of September.<br/>Our story in our words:<br/><br/>We were found by our Dad living in a hole under a thorn bush in a landfill dodging big, scary machines. Dad took us home where we were scared about what would happen. He fed us gave us clean water to drink and a quiet place to rest.<br/><br/>We slowly settled into a comfortable safe routine. We learned not to gobble our food as we learned there would be food and water tomorrow.<br/><br/>We were taken to the doctor to get our shots so we would be healthy, but it was still scary. We followed dad around and stay close to him when he worked even though sometimes, we got loud when we played.<br/><br/>Then Dad had to go the hospital to make sure his surgery was doing well and then the day he was supposed to come home he got sick and he died the next day.<br/><br/>His friend took care of us because dad was having trouble moving around on his new knees but now his friend has to move and the new place can't fit us in so now, we need to find a new home and a new Dad or Mom.<br/><br/>We would do well in a home where (if possible) we are the only ones there and with family who are experienced and patient enough to help us past are traumas from created from surviving at the landfill.<br/><br/>Penny's story:<br/><br/>Penny is smaller and looks less like a Lab than her brother Coco. She is the most skittish of the two and will tremble when frightened. She tries to get into a dark corner to get away from noise and things that scare her.<br/><br/>Penny is not leash or crate trained and it is unknown how she is around cats, other dogs or children.<br/><br/>There are no ongoing medical issues requiring special foods or medications.<br/><br/>She is usually the instigator in play time with her brother barking or howling at him until he chases her around the yard.<br/><br/>When comfortable she is the most vocal of the two of them as she does like to 'talk'.<br/><br/>THE ADOPTION FEE FOR DOGS/PUPPIES VARIES GIVEN AGE, BREED, ETC.. All have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Our ADOPTION FEE for DOGS/PUPPIES starts at $200.<br/>OUR ADOPTION FEE FOR OUR CATS STARTS AT $100.00. All have been spayed/neutered, FIV/leukemia tested, vaccinated and microchipped.
