Her name may be Penny, but this girl is worth a million bucks! Penny is the wiggliest and sweetest of ladies. She loves getting pets and giving kisses, and will greet you with sooo many tail wags. This is Penny's 2nd visit at ACCT Philly but she's hoping it's a quick one. Penny is now looking for a friend to wiggle through life with! She is available for foster and adoption at ACCT Philly. You can meet her any day from 10am-6pm. Interested foster should email foster@acctphilly.org. Video: Penny cuddling: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/23uqI4TCg2A?feature=share Behavior: Per Volunteer 4/24/24: penny was so excited to get out of her kennel to spend time with me. I loved her enthusiasm. Passing other dogs seemed to frighten Penny. She walked by other dogs with a lot of anxiety. Once outside she was happy to run for a few minutes. Penny walked with me around the block (a mile) but I had to carry her after a few andorable sploots along the route. She didn't mind being carried at all. Penny loved sitting with me. She appreciated pets and affirmations of what a good girl she is. Per Volunteer 4/24/24: Super sweet and excited lil lady! She tried dashing out the kennel door as soon as I opened it slightly for leashing lol she was very excited for the walk. Outside she was super well behaved and sooo affectionate. She knows sit and takes treats very gently! She loves treats! Super wiggly girl, loved her! Per Staff 4/23/24: When I came up to Pennys kennel she was on the other side panting and screaming appearing very stressed. I called to her and she came to my side wagging. She allowed me to easily leash her and exited without issue. Needed some coaxing when going into the kennel but returned without issue. IN the room Penny was very stressed. She was pacing around whining and panting heavily. She would not take treats and had a tough time calming herself down. Toys would work for her to self soothe with at times but as more time went on she lost interest in them. She allowed all handling and would lean in at times but remained very very stressed out and began to stress mount as well. Per Volunteer 8/14/2019: Easily leashed and exited kennel. Minimal pulling but did pull towards other dogs. Sat calmly and laid in the shade. Allows all handling, very wiggly, gave kisses, and sat on lap. No interest in tag games or toys at this time.
