Meet Penny!

🐾 Meet Penny — The Sweetest Little Shadow in Training 🖤

Penny is a stunning young Lab mix with a sleek, shiny black coat and the sweetest white markings on her chest and paws. She’s expected to grow to around 40–50 pounds — the perfect medium-sized companion for someone who wants a playful buddy and a professional snuggler all in one.

This girl is equal parts curious explorer and cuddlebug. She loves to play about 60% of the time — running, chasing, discovering new toys — and happily spends the other 40% tucked against you, soaking up every bit of affection she can get.

When meeting new people, Penny might hang back for a minute or two, but once she realizes you’re kind, she warms up quickly and shows off her affectionate, goofy personality. She’s incredibly loving, smart, and already knows “sit.” With her natural eagerness to please, she’s sure to pick up more commands in no time.

Penny has been wonderful around other dogs and would thrive in a home where she can keep learning, playing, and feeling safe. She’s got the heart of a loyal companion — gentle, devoted, and just the right mix of energy and sweetness.

If you’re looking for a young dog who will bring light, laughter, and loyalty into your home, Penny might just be your girl. 💕
