Special Needs Penny

Special Needs - Penny is a sweet 1-year-old Golden on the smaller side. Currently, she weighs 42 lbs. but needs to gain another 10 lbs. to reach her ideal weight. She is affectionate, people-oriented, and a fast learner. Penny has had 5 obstructions and three major surgeries, which have created challenges for her well-being. She is currently being muzzled 100% of the time unless tethered and under strict supervision. She is enjoying her 1-2 mile walks 2x daily and learning that the world is not so scary. Penny is currently being fed 3 x a day to help with her surgical recovery and much-needed weight gain. We have completed the additional testing to rule out PICA based on her need to consume foreign bodies. All tests came back negative, so the focus is now on behavior. We will treat the anxiety, weight gain, and structured training. We are looking for an experienced family with older kids to adhere to the required training structure. Penny is very smart and will test the guidelines and rules. Penny is being fostered in San Jose.
