About me Hi! I'm Jenny. I'm a happy, wiggly girl looking for my forever home — maybe with you? My favorite things are belly rubs, sunbathing, snoring during naps, and being close to my person. If you move from room to room, don’t worry, I’ll be right behind you! Some people call me a “little shadow,” but I just call it teamwork. I’m playful and affectionate - giving kisses and tiny happy nibbles. I’ll happily curl up next to you to watch a movie. Honestly, being together is my favorite activity. I earned a gold star for potty training and my foster family is helping me with leash walking. I am trying my best getting comfortable meeting other dogs. I’m really hoping for someone who loves my goofy heart and wants a loyal cuddle buddy for life. My adoption fee is quite the deal! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it also includes my vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons! Why wait? Come meet me today!

| 05/25/2026 FROM FOSTER: Jenny went to the dog boutique this weekend and sniffed to her heart’s content. She was happy to be center of attention and gladly accepted all belly rubs. We then had lunch on the patio and she had the best table manners. She greeted everyone that went by with tail wags and got more belly rubs. She ended her day with a pup cup and new bouncy ball, which she is learning to fetch and bring back (for a treat of course). |
| 05/17/2026 from foster: Jenny attended the Metrocenter PetSmart Adoption Event. She was excited to see the puppies. She was greeted by Michael #A5162022 who provided Jenny a calm meet and greet. She also was able to do a quick nose bop with another calm and sweet dog Rita #A5161865. Jenny is getting used to being at events with other dogs looking for their forever homes too! |
