My story

Please note: Penny & Ace are a bonded pair and need to be adopted togetherPenny may seem simple at first glance, but she carries immeasurable value. This senior gal is pure sweetness in a shiny copper coat, the kind of dog who reminds you that sometimes the most priceless things come in the humblest packages.Penny moves through life at a slow, steady pace—she’s not rushing to cash in on anything, just happy to follow her people from room to room and “collect” gentle pets along the way. Food is her currency of choice, and you’ll often find her politely stationed in the kitchen, hoping for a tasty deposit in her bowl.She’s house-trained, leash-trained, and has a heart richer than any bank. On walks, she strolls calmly, never making a fuss over squirrels, dogs, or loud noises. Penny is submissive and gentle with other dogs, occasionally showing a playful spark when her buddy invites her into a little tug-of-war or fetch game.Penny is the definition of a treasure: quiet, well-mannered, and incredibly loyal once she feels safe. She’s been through big changes after spending her whole life with one family, but in just a short time she’s already showing how adaptable and resilient she can be.If you’re looking for a pair of dogs who can balance “puppy joy” with “senior wisdom,” Penny (and her buddy Ace) are your winning hand. They are ready to deal out loyalty, laughter, and love—no bluffing needed. Penny & Ace would love to meet you.Interested in adopting this dog? Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess.Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Penny, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
