PENNY (was HENNESSEY)

Hennessey is a 7-yr old purebred vizsla who was owner released to rescue after an incident with an infant in her home. She was adopted from a local shelter 5 years earlier and, while her family was sad to give her up, they understood that the demands of a growing family were probably more than they and Heni were able to manage. While in foster care, we found Heni to be overall a friendly and happy dog despite some insecurity about new situations/dogs. She has been well loved for five years and has impeccable house manners, loves to play fetch, walks well on a lead, retrieves to hand but is reportedly gun shy.

Dec 2010: Dave & Marlene were looking for a middle-aged but active dog who could adapt to life in a condo with lots of playtime both on and off leash. She went for an overnight, changed her name to Penny and never left. It has been a fun few weeks as Penny brings Dave & Marlene up to speed on everything she knows. She is meeting the neighbors (human, dog & wildlife), taking naps in the easy chair and helping Dave on the computer. He says she's a lousy secretary but is good company and keeps him focused on how important break time is. Her first weekend she went shopping and helped pick out a new oval padded bed along with a Kong and a treat that she stole walking down an aisle! Penny is making friends wherever she goes. Thanks folks for agreeing to "overnight" Penny for the rest of her life.
