Meet Penny
Pit mix, ~ 7 years old, 75 lbs, Great with people Requires a home without other dogs or cats Sweet, affectionate Penny has been waiting far too long for a family to call her own. After over 1500 days in foster care here in Wisconsin, this 6-year-old Pitty mix is still dreaming of finding a home where she can finally feel the love she so deeply deserves. Penny is a total goofball who adores her humans and loves nothing more than cuddling up and being the center of your world. She’s best suited as the only dog in the household—she has so much love to give and wants to pour it all into her new family. Her journey hasn’t been easy; Penny has raised a litter of 9 puppies while in rescue, and while she’s been incredibly patient, it’s time for her to find her own happily ever after. Penny gets nervous during storms and could use some extra comfort during those times, but her sweet nature makes it easy to care for her. Penny cannot live with cats, but if you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and slightly goofy companion, Penny could be the perfect fit for you. After waiting for so long, she’s more than ready to fill your home with joy and laughter.

Adopting Penny — FAQ
How do I adopt Penny?
Use the adoption link or contact details on this page to apply directly with Wisconsin Bound Dog Rescue in Wisconsin. Lily's Second Chance lists Penny to help them get seen — the adoption is handled by that organization.
Is Penny still available for adoption?
Penny's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Penny is still available directly with Wisconsin Bound Dog Rescue before making plans.
Is Penny a senior dog?
Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Penny, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.
Can I foster Penny instead of adopting?
Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Penny's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Penny?
Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.
Is Penny good with children or other pets?
Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Wisconsin Bound Dog Rescue can tell you about Penny's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
