Penny Candy is Looking For: Her forever home! This sweetie landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. At about eight years of age she's way out of the puppy yips but still has plenty of pep in her step. She's up for sniffy walks, all the adventures her new family can dream up, and love - lots of love! In exchange, she promises so many adoring gazes and loyal companionship. She would do best in a home with adults or older children.

What do you say? Are you her fresh start? Can you see her way down there by your side?
What My Foster Says About Me:
Penny Candy is a sweet, submissive dog who simply wants to be near her person, following you around and happily curling up in your lap. She does show typical Chihuahua tendencies in that she generally prefers one person at a time, shifting her affection when her top choice isn't available. While she is very gentle and submissive with people, Penny appears confident around other dogs and seems well socialized.
She does well with our 6-year-old, who is more predictable and gentle, but is less comfortable with our 3-year-old. Overall, she has been very patient and tolerant in our household.

Penny Candy sleeps through the night in her crate, though she clearly prefers sleeping with her human. She favors couches over dog beds and would happily spend 24/7 on someone's lap if given the chance. She is very food motivated and appears to know some basic commands, including sit, come, and bed.
Overall, Penny Candy is a well-mannered and delightful dog, and we think whoever adopts her will be very lucky.


Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
