Got some time this weekend?

Hi folks, Penny here. If you've got some time free this weekend, I'd be happy to take you for a walk! Really, anytime, it would be no trouble, no trouble at all. I'd even be happy to play a game of fetch, you know since it is the weekend and all and  it's time to relax.

You can also visit with my friend Golden Boy, that's his picture down below. He's a Labrador Retriever mix and loves to walk. Like me, he gets really bored hanging out in the kennel all day.

Golden Boy asked me to tell you that he may seem a little excited and energetic at first, but after about 15 minutes of walking, he's smooth as silk.

Some dogs are like that.

Good Girl!

"Good girl Penny!" I just love hearing that!  That's what most plain brown dogs like me love the most - a little attention. Sure we love mealtime, rawhide chews, a great roll in the grass, but more than anything, we love to be petted, scratched and talked to. One little "Good Girl" from a human and it makes my whole day!

Penny from Heaven!

Hi, I'm Penny! It's great to be a guest blogger here at Plain Brown Dog. I'm looking for a home and I've heard the readers of this blog just love dogs and are great at helping plain dogs like me find a family.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm an adult shepherd mix who just loves people! I've been hanging out at the Halifax Humane Society since October where I've become quite popular with all the volunteers. They say it's because I'm so gentle and a great dog to walk on a leash. 

Shucks! Leash walking is a piece of cake! I've mastered much more difficult tricks like "sit," "stay," and "come." 

Please help me spread the word that a brown dog named Penny, who's quite affectionate and gentle, is looking for a family - either adults or a family with older kids preferably. I'll be letting you know even more about what I'm up to this week, so check back in or better yet, come out and meet me at Halifax Humane Society!

Do you like to shop?

If you like to shop, and you love a bargain, visit the new location of the Halifax Humane Society's Thrift Shop. Open noon to 5 p.m. Mondays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, the new shop is located next to The Coffee Cup restaurant in Holly Hill at 1027 Nova Road, in the Holly Hill Station Plaza. Donations are always accepted. Monies raised support Halifax Humane Society and all our furry friends.

If you like to shop online, plans are in the works to create an e-Bay store for the HHS Thrift Store where you can shop and support HHS from the convenience of home. More details on that to come.
