Introducing Penny, a little senior with a big heart. Curious, fun-loving, and friendly, this plucky gal would love nothing more than to be part of an adoring family with whom she can share her golden years. Senior dogs make the most incredible companions — won’t you step up for this gray-faced cutie?

Location: Russell Rescue California.

Activity level: Medium.

Likes: The dog park, going on walks, the beach, car rides, and end-of-day snuggles.

Training: Penny knows basic commands, walks great on a leash, is house trained, and knows how to use a doggie door.

Yard requirements: A fenced-in yard is not necessary as long as she is taken on regular walks.

Her story: Penny was turned into a San Bernardino shelter as a stray.

Her ideal forever home: Penny would do great in a variety of home settings, but would love a family who would included her in fun activities and outings.
