Penny's Story

Meet Penny! Penny is an adorable hound mix puppy born around January 5, 2026, and this little sweetheart is already stealing hearts everywhere she goes. She’s expected to grow into a medium-sized dog around 45lbs when full grown. Penny is everything you love about a puppy — playful, curious, smart, and incredibly snuggly. She loves playing with her toys, romping around in the grass, and chasing leaves in the yard. She especially enjoys spending time with other animals and would happily play all day with a doggy friend. When playtime is over, Penny is just as happy to curl up for a cozy nap (often on her back with her legs in the air!). She’s a smart little girl who is already learning new things like climbing stairs and working on her recall with treats. Like most puppies her age, Penny is still learning about potty training and puppy manners, but she’s doing well and will continue to improve with consistency and patience. Penny gets along well with other dogs, cats, and has been curious but respectful around other small animals. She would thrive in an active home that will give her plenty of exercise, playtime, and continued training as she grows.<br/>Because she’s still a young puppy, Penny shouldn’t be left alone for long periods and will do best with a family that has time to help her learn and grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Penny is current on vaccines, and her adoption fee includes her future spay and microchip. If you're looking for a fun, loving puppy to grow up with your family, Penny might be your perfect match!

Carolina Pet Adoption & Welfare Society (PAWS)'s Adoption Policy
We have a variety of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies waiting for new forever families. Before meeting any of our available pets, we ask that you review our Adoption Requirements and complete a brief application. It's in everyone's best interest to find the right match, and your cooperation is greatly appreciated. As soon as your application is approved (generally within 3-5days), Carolina P.A.W.S. will get in touch with you to arrange for you to meet your new pet! Filling out an application does not obligate you to adopt nor guarantee and adoption. Adoption Requirements: An application must be submitted prior to meeting the pet. Vets and references will be contacted; If you vet office requires client approve before giving out information, we ask that you contact their office once you submit an application. No animal will ever be adopted to "outside only" homes, as we firmly believe pets have a right to the warmth and safety of the indoors. Some dogs may require a fenced in yard or may not be suitable for an apartment, condo or townhome. A meet and greet will be arranged by a Carolina P.A.W.S. representative. A contract must be signed at the time of the adoption. An adoption fee is required to help defray the cost of the pet's spay /neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any other medical cost. All applicants need to be 21 years of age or older to apply. An applicant must be fully employed and proof of employment may be requested. If you reside in a rental property, we will contact the property owner to confirm that an animal is allowed. Please note: We will occasionally allow adoptions of puppies and kittens that are not spayed/neutered; however, the adopter must bring the animal to our vet for spay/neuter . This date will be scheduled prior to adoption and will be stated on the adoption contract. We require the use of our veterinarians because our program relies on subsidized healthcare from our animal hospitals. We will follow up to ensure that all animals are brought in for scheduled spay/neuters. *** We only accept applications within a certain radius of where are volunteers are based in the greater Charlotte NC area. ***
