AFRP Happy Tail

Penny's Happy Tail

Penny, a 6-month-old pit bull puppy, was found on the side of the road with two broken front legs. Thanks to Dr. Roush and dozens of generous donors, Penny received the orthopedic surgery she needed. Penny was also lucky enough to find a wonderful foster family who lovingly nursed her back to health. But would Penny finally find the forever home she longed for?

Months passed without any good candidates for Penny's adoption. But Penny's foster parents, Stepheni and Jared, were her biggest fans. They created a blog for Penny and kept their colleagues updated on her daily progress. After hearing so many good things about Penny, coworkers Cora and Katie knew she was the dog they had been waiting for. Here's a recent update:

Penny is doing so well! She is fantastic. Last night we had a great night with her. We went down to Seabright Beach and took her for a walk. She was a little scared of the water when the water came in, but when it was going out, she would chase after it and roll in it. So cute!

When we let her out of her crate in the morning (and after she goes to the bathroom), she likes to jump up on the bed and crawl under the covers and give whoever is still sleeping lots of kisses. This morning she came up and snuggled and slept for a while.

We love her so much, and we are so impressed by how well behaved she is around us and other people. She is going to be such a great dog, and we are so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you for doing such a great job of fostering her and training her. She couldn't be any more perfect than she already is!
