Notes: Penny was adopted and returned due to her being "too hyper". She is a very active dog. We believe she would do best on a larger property where she has plenty of room to run.

Penny is just an absolute love bug! She is medium sized and we have been calling her "fun sized" because she is SO much fun to be around. We are estimating her to be around 1.5 years old. She is a mixed breed and does show some signs of a herding-type breed. When she gets excited she likes to nibble on your hand to get you to pay more attention to her. Since she is so active and excitable, she needs to go to a home where she has plenty of space to run around and play.

If you are interested in adopting her and have smaller children, it would be a great idea to test her with them before committing since she has not been kid-tested and has shown to be a nibbler. She has loved everyone that she has been around and has not shown any aggression whatsoever towards anyone, dogs included.
