Introducing Penny, our little shelter firecracker! Who needs an itty bitty pitty full of spunk and love? Penny is a typical pitty who wants to be all up in your space, she loves her person. Penny is working with her buddies on basic training commands. Once in a home, she will settle into your routine quickly. She is a smart girl with a cute little attitude.

Penny is three years old and weighs 40 pounds

Penny is not good with cats, good with some dogs and would do best in a household with children over 12 years of age.

The adoption fee for adult dogs, seven months and older, is $250. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in setting up a meet and greet, please complete an online adoption application and Helping Strays will call you to make an appointment.

Please note:

Some of our pets are in foster care and not located at the shelter. If you are interested in a specific pet, contact the shelter at (618) 939-7389 to arrange a meeting.
