Adopt Me: Your Lucky 'Penny'

Each week we feature pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

I’m an outgoing and friendly dog who craves your attention and affection. I know I’ll make you laugh and smile often, since I’m silly and goofy throughout the day. My joyful spirit is contagious and I apply it to all my endeavors. Be it training, playing, loving, investigating or going for walks – I guess “Gusto” could be my middle name! But I have a quiet side, too. I love snuggling, chew toys, and long cozy snoozes. Yep, I have it all—wiggly, sensitive, not too big, exuberant, a sense of humor, inquisitive, joyful, smart, playful and loving. What more could you ask for?
