Adopt Penny From The Pound

Penny is available for adoption from the Newtown pound, which is located at the end of Ethan Allen Road (behind the transfer station).

PENNY is a female German Shepherd. She is about 5 years old. When she arrived at the pound, she was in poor condition and was not claimed by an owner. Most likely used for breeding, Penny was not spayed and was in heat. She had fly bites on the tips of her ears and was thin. Penny has probably never seen the inside of a house and seems very used to being in a cage, according to Animal Control officials. She is scared of loud noises and thunderstorms. Penny would best be suited in a low-key household with adults and possibly children if supervised. She has come very far and deserves a nice home. She needs an owner with an understanding of the road to recovery that she has just begun.
