Penny has become very comfortable in NYC, but she still does not like loud noises. That rush hour traffic and the noises buses and trucks make still make her jump a little. She also still gets a little tense when bikes, strollers, anything with wheels comes too close to her. Penny is a petite little Shiba and from her perspective these things could be scary. She’s working on overcoming the issues and has definitely come out of her shell.
She plays with toys, loves her buddy Snickers, and is learning to sit before she gets fed. She also is very affectionate once she gets to know you. She likes to lean on and hang out with her foster mom. Penny has a few vocalizations - barks at the door, yodels when she’s excited, and howls at visitors when she first meets them.
Penny is a sweet dog and is looking for a forever home.

Hello Kathy and Jenna,
I have an applicaiton in for Penny and have been following her progress on line. It appears you are still looking for the right home. I am eager to hear if you have read my applicaiton…and if I can move to the next stage in the process. I wanted to note based on the posting about her tonight that my adopted Akita was also quite shy and timid around loud noises. Where I live is in the country and I myself have 2 acres of land…so if Penny, like Shima and I enjoys quiet, then that oculd be one more positive about placing her with me. I am anxious to hear some word since it has been a while. I remain optimistic that you will see in my applicaiton a very good fit for Penny. Theo
PS Just to clarify, Shima died of old age several years ago….so Penny would not share my home with an Akita. (Shima was 102 pounds…that could for sure have been quite imtimdating for little Penny!!)
Very VERY adorable!
