Penny is a sweet 4 year old pit mix. She is very energetic and loving. I am helping re-home her after my friend had a baby and felt Penny was too much energy for them to manage with a newborn. She is crate trained, obedient, and loves people. She loves to jump and run, but is also happy to chill on the couch. She craves attention and follows me around the house wherever I go.
She probably needs to be in a home with no other dogs. She is generally good with other dogs, but had an incident in which she was aggressive towards my dog which required him to get staples. It was an isolated event with a clear trigger, but best that she is a solo dog.
