PENNY THE AMAZING

222 DAYS. HER WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE. <br/><br/>That is how long Penny has been with our rescue.<br/><br/>LINK TO ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/pGTHx9X4JWXGNsrA7<br/><br/>Penny is 222 days old—and she has been with us for every single one of them.<br/><br/>She was born into our rescue. We have watched her open her eyes, grow into those ridiculous ears, develop her hilarious little personality, and become the absolutely AMAZING 7-month-old, 15-pound dog she is today.<br/><br/>And somehow, she is still waiting for someone to choose her.<br/><br/>Not because she has behavioral issues.<br/><br/>Not because she doesn't like kids.<br/><br/>Not because she can't live with other animals.<br/><br/>Nope.<br/><br/>Penny has been passed over because she was “too big” at 14 pounds.<br/><br/>Because she wasn't fluffy enough.<br/><br/>Because she didn't look quite like what someone pictured in their head.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Penny is over here casually being one of the most adaptable, ridiculously wonderful puppies we have ever had.<br/><br/>Young children? Penny says bring them on.<br/><br/>Autistic teenagers? She has done wonderfully.<br/><br/>Big dogs? Friends.<br/><br/>Little dogs? Also friends.<br/><br/>Cats? Yep, those too.<br/><br/>New environment? Give her a minute. She'll figure it out.<br/><br/>Penny has been exposed to so many different people, animals, and situations throughout her life, and she adapts beautifully. She is confident, social, affectionate, playful, smart, and genuinely just happy to be included.<br/><br/>She doesn't need everything to be perfect. She just wants to be part of it.<br/><br/>And can we talk about the hair?<br/>Penny has this adorable fuzzy, slightly scruffy “I woke up like this” look—but without the high-maintenance grooming requirements people often expect from a fluffy dog.<br/><br/>Basically, she gets the bedhead aesthetic without the salon bill.<br/><br/>Her DNA is a wonderfully confusing combination of Mini Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, Chihuahua, Cattle Dog, and Shih Tzu. We aren't entirely sure how all of those ingredients resulted in Penny, but apparently the recipe works.<br/><br/>She's about 15 pounds now, which makes her a fantastic size: small enough to scoop up and cuddle, but sturdy enough to actually go places and do things with you.<br/><br/>And those ears?<br/>Still enormous.<br/><br/>We assume they're used for satellite communication.<br/><br/>Penny loves to play, explore, learn, cuddle, and be involved in whatever her people are doing. She can hang with the dogs, interact beautifully with kids, coexist with cats, and then curl up next to you when the fun is over.<br/><br/>She's not the fluffiest puppy.<br/><br/>She's not the tiniest puppy.<br/><br/>She may not look exactly like the imaginary dog someone had pictured before they met her. Even though she is ridiculously cute.<br/><br/>But Penny doesn't need to be any of those things.<br/><br/>Because Penny is AMAZING exactly as she is.<br/><br/>We've watched this little girl since the day she was born. For 222 days, we have watched her grow into an incredible little dog, and we know the dog underneath those ridiculous ears and fuzzy hair.<br/><br/>Someone is going to get an absolutely phenomenal companion.<br/>We just can't believe they haven't found her yet.<br/><br/>Penny is fully vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, spayed, and has been treated for parasites. She is on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. She is also crate trained and house trained.<br/><br/>Our rescue is not first-come, first-served. We carefully review applications to find the home that is the best match for each individual animal. Our goal isn't simply to get Penny adopted. It's to make sure the family who finally chooses her is the family who will choose her forever.<br/><br/>We are a completely foster-based rescue and do not operate a physical shelter. We are NOT the Yolo County Animal Shelter or the Yolo County SPCA.<br/><br/>Please review the application for information about our adoption process. If you have additional questions after completing the application, you can contact our adoption team at YCSNFoster@gmail.com.<br/><br/>222 days. Her entire life.<br/><br/>Penny has never known life outside of our rescue.<br/><br/>We absolutely adore her—but it's time for Penny to stop being our puppy and finally become someone's dog.<br/><br/>She's been ready.<br/><br/>Her family just needs to find her.<br/><br/>LINK TO ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/pGTHx9X4JWXGNsrA7

222 DAYS. HER WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE.

That is how long Penny has been with our rescue.

Penny is 222 days old—and she has been with us for every single one of them.

She was born into our rescue. We have watched her open her eyes, grow into those ridiculous ears, develop her hilarious little personality, and become the absolutely AMAZING 7-month-old, 15-pound dog she is today.

And somehow, she is still waiting for someone to choose her.

Not because she has behavioral issues.

Not because she doesn't like kids.

Not because she can't live with other animals.

Nope.

Penny has been passed over because she was “too big” at 14 pounds.

Because she wasn't fluffy enough.

Because she didn't look quite like what someone pictured in their head.

Meanwhile, Penny is over here casually being one of the most adaptable, ridiculously wonderful puppies we have ever had.
