Penny's Story

Current Location: Henrico, VA<br/><br/>Meet Penny! Your New Best Friend (and Professional Snuggler)!<br/><br/>Are you looking for a roommate who won't eat your leftovers, never forgets to pay their share of the "cuddles," and is already fully house-broken? Look no further!<br/><br/> Beauty and Brains<br/><br/>This smarty-pants has already mastered the basics of human interaction. She's got a resume full of skills including Sit, Down, and a very polite Paw (perfect for when she wants to negotiate for an extra treat).<br/><br/> Why she's the perfect catch <br/><br/> The Ultimate Socialite: She loves every single person she meets. If you have a face, she probably loves you already.<br/><br/> Dog Friendly: While she currently enjoys the company of the four other dogs in her foster home, she is just as happy soaking up all the attention as an only child. As long as there are snuggles involved, she's content!<br/><br/> House & Crate Trained: She's a refined lady who understands the "outdoor" rules and enjoys her own little "apartment" (crate) time. She's had no accidents so far in her foster home.<br/><br/> Adventure Partner: She's an A+ car passenger and an enthusiastic explorer on walks. She's the perfect companion for neighborhood strolls or weekend hikes!<br/><br/> Her Favorite Hobbies<br/><br/>Penny loves to go walking and will be a great hiking partner. With her athletic build and curious spirit, Penny is a natural-born explorer. She would be the perfect match for an active household looking for a fitness buddy to join them on the trails or long evening walks.<br/><br/>When she isn't out exploring the neighborhood, her favorite place to be is glued to your side. She is a professional-level couch snuggler who takes her job very seriously. If you're sitting down, she's ready to claim the spot right next to you (or your lap!) for a serious nap session.<br/><br/> Penny's Dream Home<br/><br/>Penny would love a fenced-in yard to accommodate her athletic build, long legs and strong prey drive. She has a serious drive for the chase, and her legendary rivalry with local wildlife means she needs a secure "arena" where she can burn off energy without following a squirrel into the next zip code.<br/><br/> Ready to meet Penny? <br/><br/>If you're looking for a smart and incredibly loving companion to fill that dog-shaped hole in your heart, she's ready to move in!<br/><br/>Click through the pictures up top to see videos of Penny playing in her foster home or go to Penny's foster family's YouTube page! https://www.youtube.com/@OPHfosters8877

Operation Paws for Homes's Adoption Policy
Our organization provides pet adoption services to families located in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We believe in responsible adoptions and strive to work with each adopter to find a good match for their home and lifestyle. Our adoption process includes completion of an application, a vet check, an interview, and a personal “meet and greet” where the family can meet and interact with their potential new four-legged family member. Throughout this process, we work to ensure each family and dog are the right fit for each other. We are fortunate to have some wonderful and active volunteers who help OPH find forever homes for over 1,000 dogs and cats a year. The key to that statement is - volunteer! Please remember that our organization is driven by caring individuals who give their personal time to help rescue these animals and provide them with the opportunity to find an amazing future! In addition to adoptions, volunteers carry out education and outreach events throughout the area, and conduct donation drives for our partner shelters in the south. Our goal is to offer a second chance to dogs and cats abandoned in shelters and out of time. Sadly, without our help, some of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - sometimes within days of arriving at the shelter. Each year we rescue hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats. We work hard to unite them with forever families who will give them the life and love they deserve. These animals are saved only because of the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers.
